Abstract：In order to improve the energy efficiency of the distributed full duplex wireless network, an improved full duplex medium access control ( MAC) protocol with low power consumption was proposed. Unlike the traditional MAC protocol, the proposed MAC protocol could achieve the energy efficiency through reducing the transmission power of data and acknowledgement packets. The proposed MAC protocol supported both bidirectional and unidirectional links, and maintained the backward compatibility to the traditional half duplex nodes, which could achieve a high throughput. The simulation analysis and performance evaluation for the proposed MAC protocol were carried out based on the random geometry method. The results verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method. The proposed method is a feasible solution scheme for the full duplex wireless network.
