With the rapid adoption of mobile phones, the limited spectrum available for voice and data communication is getting overloaded. This is forcing the researchers to develop newer mechanisms, techniques and technologies to make sure that there's enough room for expansion in the future. We recently reported about a team of engineers have began work on #-Link-Snipped-# in Europe, however it's going to take at least a decade to standardise it. However, two professors Yingbo Hua and Ping Liang from University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering are working on doubling the efficiency of currently existing wireless networks with what they call ' full duplex MIMO radio '.
The researchers recently published a paper titled "A method for broadband full-duplex MIMO radio (#-Link-Snipped-#)" in IEEE journal. Current generation of wireless networks rely on half-duplex radio - which means two separate channels are used for data transmission and reception. The research aims to use a single channel for receiving and transmitting data via a technique called full-duplex radio. The technology however isn't quite ready for the 3G and 4G networks as yet.

The cell phone towers would be the first place to implement the full-duplex radio because they're already getting overcrowded and the new technique will simply double the ability of these towers to handle the data traffic. This would even mean that in future we may expect more reliable connections between the cell phone towers and our mobile phones.
