Our conducted experiments corroborated that FD is not always the optimal operation mode when considering an FD enabled wireless network. The optimal mode of a link depends on (i) the external interference it encounters from neighboring links (which is a function of their transmission powers and channel gains) and (ii) its residual self-interference (which is a function of its SIC capability, its transmission power, and its channel gain). Given that the external interference will not be known a priori, a link relies on the probability distribution over the types of the other link in deriving its strategy. Our simulations demonstrated the impact of the residual self-interference and external interference on the received constellation diagram, and hence the BER. Specifically, as both interference types increase, the variance in the received constellation points increases.
