Abstract
최근 들어, 자기 간섭 제어 기술의 발달로 인하여 PHY 계층에서는 full-duplex 통신이 가능한 수준에 도달하였다. 이러한 full-duplex 통신을 지원하기 위한 다양한 MAC 계층의 기술들이 활발히 연구 중이다. 본 논문에서는 무선랜 (WLAN) 시스템에서 full-duplex 통신의 특징과 이로 인하여 발생하는 문제점들을 알아보고, 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 제안된 다양한 MAC 프로토콜을 살펴본다. 그리고 현재 초기 단계에 있는 무선랜 시스템에서의 full-duplex 통신과 관련된 MAC 계층의 향후 연구 과제를 논의한다. Full-duplex communications have emerged as a key technology for next-generation wireless local area networks (WLANs). Although the key enabling technology for full-duplex communications is the self-interference cancellation (SIC) technique in the physical layer, the employment of full-duplex communications has huge potentials to substantially increase the throughput at the medium access control (MAC) layer. At the same time, full-duplex communications pose non-trivial challenges to the MAC protocol design. In this article, we first identify salient problems in supporting full-duplex communications in WLAN MAC protocols. After that, we survey the state-of-the art to address those problems and analyze their pros and cons. Finally, we present open research challenges to improve the effectiveness of full-duplex communications in WLANs.
