Method for Full Duplex Communications Using Array of Antennas and Associated Full Duplex Wireless Communication Device
First Claim
1. A method implemented by a full duplex wireless communication device for communications using an array of antennas, the method comprising:
- switching an operation mode of the full duplex wireless communication device between an antenna sharing mode, in which each of the antennas is used for both transmission and reception at a same frequency band, and an antenna isolation mode, in which said each of the antennas is used for either transmission or reception at the frequency band or for both transmission and reception at non-overlapping frequency subbands; and
performing full duplex wireless communications in one of the antenna sharing mode and the antenna isolation mode.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method implemented by a full duplex wireless communication device for communications using an array of antennas and the full duplex wireless communication device. The method comprises switching an operation mode of the full duplex wireless communication device between an antenna sharing mode, in which each of the antennas is used for both transmission and reception at a same frequency band, and an antenna isolation mode, in which said each of the antennas is used for either transmission or reception at the frequency band or for both transmission and reception at non-overlapping frequency subbands. The method further comprises performing full duplex wireless communications in one of the antenna sharing mode and the antenna isolation mode.
