Performance Analysis of Full Duplex Wireless Network with Interference – A More Realistic Model

In this paper, we propose an analytical Markovian model to analyze the performance of three operation modes in a linear wireless multi-hop network with interference. The study encompasses a comprehensive evaluation of both half and full-duplex operations, and the utilization of omnidirectional and directional antennas. Notably, our model incorporates the critical factor of buffering at network nodes. Several performance metrics were considered to evaluate the network performance: Block Probability, Capacity, Throughput, and Drop Probability. We show that in a system with a larger buffer size and high SNR, full-duplex performance is much better than half-duplex performance.
