— Directional antennas are a promising option for use in ad-hoc networks for a variety of reasons, such as increased spatial reuse, reduced interference and enabling more effici...
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna systems present a radical way to improve the performance of wireless communications. Such systems can be utilized in wireless ad hoc n...
— We propose a contention based reservation MAC protocol for a collaborative sensing scenario involving a set of surveillance UAVs communicating with a hub. Data transmission rig...
—Cooperative relaying has been shown to provide diversity gains which can significantly improve the Packet Error Rate (PER) in wireless transmissions. In ad hoc wireless routing...
