— 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...
The use of directional antenna in wireless ad hoc networks potentially increases simultaneous communication by directing the transmitting and receiving beams towards the receiver a...
- 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...
