1. An apparatus, comprising:
- logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to initiate a downlink (DL) transmission procedure for sending a DL data transmission, and during the DL transmission procedure, send an interference-contingent uplink (UL) transmission invitation identifying a destination of the DL data transmission and begin receiving a UL data transmission in response to the interference-contingent UL transmission invitation, the interference-contingent UL transmission invitation comprising a collateral interference margin for the DL data transmission.

Abstract
Interference management techniques for full-duplex wireless communications are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to initiate a downlink (DL) transmission procedure for sending a DL data transmission, and during the DL transmission procedure, send an interference-contingent uplink (UL) transmission invitation identifying a destination of the DL data transmission and begin receiving a UL data transmission in response to the interference-contingent UL transmission invitation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

6. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
initiate a downlink (DL) transmission procedure for sending a DL data transmission; and during the DL transmission procedure; send an interference-contingent uplink (UL) transmission invitation identifying a destination of the DL data transmission, the interference-contingent UL transmission invitation comprising a collateral interference margin for the DL data transmission; and begin receiving a UL data transmission in response to the interference-contingent UL transmission invitation. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. An apparatus, comprising:
logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to receive an interference-contingent uplink (UL) transmission invitation identifying a destination device of a downlink (DL) data transmission, estimate a collateral interference resulting at the destination device from a prospective UL data transmission, and determine whether to perform the prospective UL data transmission based on a comparison of the estimated collateral interference with a collateral interference margin for the DL data transmission. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
