Abstract
A method for controlling communication of information includes selecting a group of stations within range of an access point, transmitting a first signal from the access point to a first station in the group, and receiving at the access point a second signal from a second station in the group. The first signal is transmitted to the first station through a downlink channel. The second signal is received from the second station through an uplink channel. Transmission of the first signal takes place during a first period and reception of the second signal takes place during a second period overlapping the first period, in order to perform full-duplex different-frequency communications based on an 802.11 standard between the access point and the first station and the second station.
