Rate adaptation for full duplex wireless MIMO networks

Full duplex technology has changed the traditional way of wireless communication. In theory, it can double the throughput of the communication system as it can transmit and receive at the same time. However, due to the influence of self interference, full duplex radio is often short of the ideal throughput, even lower than half duplex. In order to improve the total throughput of full duplex wireless MIMO network, we design Full Duplex Rate Adaptation algorithm which adaptively chooses the optimal joint scheme of Rate, MIMO mode and the Work mode. we employ MAB (Multi-Armed Bandit) Model and use the softmax selection strategy achieving nearly oracle throughput in stationary environment and the average throughput is higher than both full duplex and half duplex without adaptation in different non-stationary environment.
