Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at an access point (AP). A scheduling procedure for using a full duplex wireless local area network (WLAN) AP with legacy station (STA) compatibility (e.g., half duplex) may be implemented. For example, a system may include a full duplex AP and have half duplex STAs with two antennas each. The scheduling procedure may involve dynamic grouping of STAs into half duplex sets, for example, based at least in part on location information of the STAs. The STAs may be grouped such that the AP is able to transmit to one of the half duplex sets while concurrently receiving from another of the half-duplex sets. The AP may employ beamforming, via the STAs, to reduce interference between full duplex in-band communications.
