— The use of directional antennae in ad hoc networks has received growing attention in recent years. However, most existing directional MAC protocols assume interchangeable direc...
Recently, several directional MAC protocols using smart antennas or directional antennas have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks including our proposed MAC protocol called...
Directional antennas in ad hoc networks offer many benefits compared with classical omnidirectional antennas. The most important include significant increase of spatial reuse, cov...
This paper discusses the ideal shapes of control frames (i.e., RTS/CTS frames) in the IEEE 802.11 MAC layer for efficient power control and directional beam forming in mobile ad h...
— The use of directional antennas in mobile ad hoc networks has shown to offer large potential throughput gains relative to omnidirectional antennas. When used in ad hoc networks...
