Abstract

We consider the application of asymmetric full-duplex (AFD) communications in wireless local area networks (WLANs), exemplified by a Wi-Fi system. A full-duplex (FD)-enabled Wi-Fi access point communicates simultaneously uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) with a pair of half-duplex (HD) Wi-Fi stations (STAs). AFD enhances spectrum efficiency and reduces latency for STAs; however, it faces challenges related to node selection, switching between AFD and HD modes, and rate control. In this paper, we propose the \textit{asymmetric FD-mode and rate adaptation} (AFRA) scheme. AFRA relies on partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) to adapt the UL and DL transmission rates as well as the transmission mode (i.e., AFD or HD; UL-only or DL-only), considering the future expected channel and interference conditions. Our simulation results indicate that AFRA outperforms classical rate-adaptation schemes and achieves up to 95% of the optimal performance of AFD communications.
