Abstract
A full-duplex (FD) capable access point (AP) of a wireless basic service set (BSS) that includes a plurality of stations (STAs) is configured to implement opportunistic FD downlink (DL) transmissions to a non-FD capable STA in the BSS when decoding uplink (UL) data from a UL STA in the BSS. While decoding the UL data, the AP selects a DL STA from a queue of DL STAs based on a predetermined FD DL transmission rate from the AP to the DL STA while the AP is decoding the UL data from the UL STA. The AP then causes an amount of data to be transmitted as an FD transmission to the selected DL STA while the processor is decoding the data from the UL STA.
