Abstract
In a wireless network, full duplex communication is established using a half-duplex mechanism. During a full duplex communication opportunity, a first quantum of data is transmitted from a first station to a second station and a second quantum of data is received by the first station from the second station. The full duplex transmission opportunity is implicitly or explicitly established and ended using a transmission mechanism understood by half duplex wireless stations.
