Abstract EN
The increasing demands for high-data rate traffic stimulated the development of the fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks.
The envisioned 5G network is expected to meet its challenge by devising means to further improve spectrum usage.
Many alternatives to enhance spectrum usage are being researched, such as massive MIMO, operation in mmWave frequency, cognitive radio, and the employment of full-duplex antennas.
Efficient utilization of the potential of any of these technologies faces a set of challenges related to medium access control (MAC) schemes.
This work focuses on MAC schemes tailored for full-duplex antennas, since they are expected to play a major role in the foreseeable 5G networks.
In this context, this paper presents a MAC layer technique to improve total transmission time when full-duplex antennas are employed.
Several evaluations in different scenarios are conducted to assess the proposed MAC scheme.
Numerical results show that the proposed scheme provides gains up to 156% when compared to a state-of-the-art full-duplex antenna MAC protocol.
Compared to traditional half-duplex antenna MAC protocols, the proposed scheme yields gain up to 412%.
