Testing Full Duplex Radios

Caption

A full duplex radio system developed at NYU Tandon School of Engineering by Professor Mike Knox (above). In related work, researchers devised a model to guide engineers on how to mix half duplex and full duplex wireless cells for the best mix of reception and improved efficiency in dense urban areas versus wide-open spaces. Full duplex mobile devices are a holy grail because they send and receive signals simultaneously on a single radio wave, thus vastly increasing data capacity. But they generate interference leading to dropped calls. Award-winning research at NYU Tandon by PhD student Sanjay Goyal and Shivendra Panwar and researchers at Trinity College, demonstrated a successful model that allows both full duplex and the current half duplex technology to mix in a single cell, thereby improving efficiency. NYU Tandon's Full Duplex research team consists of Professors Elza Erkip, Mike Knox, Pei Liu, and Shivendra Panwar.
