- Recently, several MAC protocols using directional antennas, typically referred to as directional MAC protocols, have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks. However, the MAC ...
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...
—In this paper we analyze the capacity of wireless mesh networks that use omni or directional antennas. The capacity in our analysis is the end-to-end per-node throughput. Our an...
