Radios can receive or transmit a signal. Not only is the communication one-way, the signals that are transmitted are noisy. It’s like shouting in a crowded room and having no way of knowing if the person in the middle can hear you. But researchers at Stanford University have discovered that it’s possible for a radio to do both. After testing two radios designed for the two-way communication, the researchers measured how well the radios communicated. Philip Levis is pleased with the results so far. Levis is a computer science and electrical engineering professor at Stanford, and he thinks his full-duplex wireless device could really help wireless communication networks.
