Current wireless systems don’t allow the data to be sent and received in the same time over the same frequency. That’s because the strength of the transmission overwhelms any incoming signal on the same frequency. In order to increase the bandwidth and quality of data transfer, a group of engineers from the University of Waterloo… »

Rice University engineering researchers have made a breakthrough that could allow wireless phone companies to double throughput on their networks without adding a single cell tower. Instead using two frequencies to send and receive data, Rice’s new “full-duplex” technology allows wireless devices like cell phones and electronic tablets perform this communication with cell towers while… »
