Design and Characterization of a Full-Duplex Multiantenna System for WiFi Networks

Vaneet Aggarwal

In this paper, we present an experiment-and simulation-based study to evaluate the use of full duplex (FD) as a potential mode in practical IEEE 802.11 networks. To enable the study, we designed a 20-MHz multiantenna orthogonal frequency-division-multiplex ...

Secure incentives to cooperate for wireless networks

Naouel Ben Salem

The operating principle of certain wireless networks makes essential the cooperation between the mobile nodes. However, if each node is an autonomous selfish entity, cooperation is not guaranteed and therefore we need to use incentive techniques. In this t ...
