Honorable mention award for the full-duplex demo in the NYC Media Lab's Annual Summit

September 22, 2016

A demo presented in the 2016 NYC Media Lab's Annual Summit by FlexICoN students Tingjun Chen and Jin Zhou received the Honorable Mention Award (selected from about 140 demos presented).

The demo, titled "Double-talk: Full-duplex wireless for next-generation communications", illustrates the cross-layered (software and hardware) efforts within the FlexICoN project. The demo presents a Full-Duplex (FD) link consisting of two FD transceivers transmitting and receiving simultaneously on the same frequency channel. Specifically, the prototyped FD transceivers are based on a small-form-factor analog self-inteference canceller and a Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform. This demo is based on the testbed that was demonstrated at ACM MobiHoc'16 in July, 2016.

Some of the demos that participated in the demo expo are described in the following list and the full list of award winners can be found on medium.com. [Columbia Engineering School news item]
