  Abstract: In-band full duplex wireless medium access control (MAC) protocol is essential in order to
  enable higher layers of the protocol stack to exploit the maximum beneﬁts from physical layer full
  duplex technology. Unlike half duplex wireless local area network, a full duplex MAC protocol has to
  deal with several unique issues and challenges that arise because of the dynamic n
