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...
This paper presents ARC (Adaptive Range Control), a communication range control mechanism using directional antennas to be implemented across multiple layers. ARC uses directional...
Recent studies on directional Media Access Control (MAC) protocols using smart antennas for wireless ad hoc networks have shown that directional MAC protocols outperform traditiona...
Although directional antennas have been used in mobile communications systems for quite a long time, realistic applications of directional or smart antennas in wireless ad hoc net...
Using directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks is an attractive issue due to its potential advantages such as spatial reuse, low power consumption and low chance of interfe...
