This book thoroughly examines the design of full-duplex medium access control (MAC) protocols in wireless networks. It is organized into three main sections: (a) Fundamentals and preliminaries of full-duplex communications, (b) A comprehensive review of the existing full-duplex MAC protocols, and Designs of full-duplex MAC protocols in three typical wireless networks, i.e., wireless local access networks (WLANs), multi-hop networks and millimeter-wave networks. Also, the authors extensively address key challenges in these three wireless full-duplex networks, such as the hidden-node problem, accumulative interference, and deafness and blockage problems. Solutions to these challenges are meticulously devised to enhance the overall network performance. Full-duplex (FD) communication has emerged as one of the most promising technologies in future wireless networks, enabling simultaneous transmission and reception in the same frequency band. Compared with the current half-duplex (HD) system, FD communication can theoretically double the link capacity and spectrum efficiency, hence attracting extensive attention from academia and industry. To fully exploit the benefits of FD communication in wireless networks, medium access control (MAC) protocols should be appropriately designed for FD-enabled wireless networks. We hope this monograph can provide insight into understanding the fundamental performance of FD wireless networks in different network scenarios, including WLANs, multi-hop networks, and mmWave networks.
