Embodiments of an access point (AP), station (STA) and method for full-duplex (FD) communication are generally described herein. The AP may contend for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) during which the AP is to control access to channel resources. During the TXOP, the AP may request to receive uplink data demands from a first group of STAs; receive the uplink data demands; allocate, based at least partly on the uplink data demands, resource units (RUs) of the channel resources for an OFDMA transmission of uplink data; and schedule a full-duplex (FD) communication in which the AP is to use overlapping portions of the channel resources during overlapping time periods of the TXOP to receive the uplink data and to transmit downlink data to a second group of one or more STAs.
