  • Patent number: 11425753
    Abstract: Systems and methods for emulating Full Duplex (FD) transmissions between two or more devices by way of out-of-band Full Duplex communication, also known as Frequency Division Duplexing-Full Duplex (FDD-FD) communication. FD communication refers to a wireless communication device being able to transmit and receive communications at the same time. In out-of-band FD communication, a first communication channel is used for transmitting a first communication in one direction and a second communication channel is used for simultaneously transmitting a second communication in the reverse direction. Examples relate to management frames for managing channel availability and channel selection for implementing the out-of-band FD communication. An example wi-fi management frame includes an identification of both the first channel for the wireless communication device to transmit on, and the second channel for the wireless communication device to simultaneously receive on.
