Mixture of Half-duplex and Full-duplex Wireless Network Considering Hidden Terminal Problem

摘要

The full-duplex (FD) wireless is one of the key drivers for realizing the 5G cellular systems, which can initiate the mixture of FD and half-duplex (HD) wireless networks simultaneously. Many research works have been studied to improve the medium access control (MAC) performance of the mixture of HD and FD wireless networks. However, the hidden terminal problem still remains unsolved today. Therefore, the paper aims to revisit and evaluate this problem explicitly. This paper depicts the numerical evaluations of HD, FD and mixture of HD and FD wireless networks in terms of conditional collision probability, transmission probability and saturation throughput.
