It is my understanding that one of the fundamental improvements with the 802.11n proposals is the use of MIMO.
I believe this entails using one antenna and freq channel for sending and another ant and channel for receiving, thereby allowing full duplex comms.
Infact, I think it might use more than one channel for each depending on various factors. I think the underlying protocol isn't too different, hence the ease of backward compatability.

Might all be wrong though?
