1. An in-band full-duplex (IBFD) free-space optical (FSO) system comprising:
a first transceiver and a second transceiver, each of the first transceiver and the second transceiver comprising;
a transceiver plane;
a plurality of transmitters positioned on the transceiver plane, wherein the plurality of transmitters occupy a portion of the transceiver plane, the plurality of transmitters are substantially equally separated into one of a plurality of transceiver clusters on the transceiver plane, and wherein the plurality of transceiver clusters are approximately equidistant from each other and from a center of the transceiver plane; and
a plurality of receivers positioned on the transceiver plane, wherein the plurality of receivers occupy the transceiver plane not occupied by the plurality of transmitters and wherein the plurality of receivers are positioned within an interior of the plurality of transceiver clusters;
wherein the plurality of transmitters and the plurality of receivers of the first transceiver and the plurality of transmitters and the plurality of receivers of the second transceiver perform IBFD communication by simultaneously transmitting and receiving optical signals in a same frequency band.
