Recently, several MAC protocols using directional antennas have been proposed for ad hoc networks, which are mainly evaluated by computer simulations. This paper develops a MAC pr...
— The growing interest in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) enables decentralized traveler information systems to become more feasible and effective in Intelligent Transportatio...
In ad hoc mobile wireless networks, energy consumption is an important issue as most mobile hosts operate on limited battery resources. Existing models for evaluating the energy co...
Smart antennas are expected to enhance scalability in ad hoc networks. This paper at first evaluates three directional MAC protocols, DMAC, MMAC and SWAMP as well as the omni-dir...
—In performance studies of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), the underlying mobility model plays an important role. Since conventional mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing pro...
