— 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...
Energy conservation is a critical issue in wireless ad hoc networks since batteries are the only energy source to power the nodes. One major metric for energy conservation is to r...
—In this paper, we study precise localization using Angle of Arrival (AOA) estimations by smart-antenna equipped beacons in Ad-Hoc networks. The node to be localized sends a sign...
- Directional antennas are used to improve spatial reuse, but have the problem of deafness. The DUDMAC protocol [9] uses the ORTS, OCTS, DDATA, and DACK mechanisms and a blocking a...
