—In this paper, we present a model to analyze the performance of wireless ad hoc networks with smart antennas, i.e. directional antennas with adjustable transmission power. Our r...
—Characterizing the performance of ad hoc networks is one of the most intricate open challenges; conventional ideas based on information-theoretic techniques and inequalities hav...
—In this paper, the performance of the ALOHA and CSMA MAC protocols are analyzed in spatially distributed wireless networks. The main system objective is correct reception of pac...
This paper bears on the design and the quantitative evaluation of MAC mechanisms for wireless ad-hoc networks with performance guarantees. By this, we mean mechanisms where each ac...
Random beamforming, where each node selects a main beam direction without any coordination with other nodes, has been proposed as a simple technique to improve connectivity in wire...
