Neighbor discovery utilizing in-band full duplex in wireless clique networks

Abstract

In wireless ad hoc networks, neighbor discovery is essential for medium access control and routing. In this paper, we propose a new neighbor discovery algorithm utilizing in-band full duplex. This algorithm employs a reservation scheme with full duplex into an existing algorithm based on half-duplex. We analyze neighbor discovery time of both algorithms with absorbing Markov chain models and simulations. These results show our proposed algorithm shortens neighbor discovery. Furthermore, we discuss an affinity between the proposed algorithm and an existing one with full duplex.
