1. A method comprising:
- communicating data on a frequency spectrum at a first rate;
preparing self-interference cancellation while communicating the data;
applying the self-interference cancellation only when receiving additional data on the frequency spectrum while communicating the data; and
communicating the data on the frequency spectrum at a second rate lower than the first rate.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for a modified MAC protocol which can facilitate communications with both full-duplex and half-duplex devices. A system configured according to the disclosed method can enable communications between an Access Point (AP) and a client in either full duplex or half duplex. The system can similarly enable peer-to-peer communications in both full duplex and half duplex communication modes.
