—This paper presents the FFT (flip-flop tone) DMAC protocol, a tone based MAC protocol using directional antennas to solve the deafness problem, hidden terminal and exposed termi...
Abstract— The ability of smart antennas to improve performance in a typically constrained ad-hoc network environment, has helped them garner significant attention over the last ...
