Abstract. In wireless ad hoc networks, cross-layer design aims at reducing multiple access interference and thus obtaining a higher spatial reuse. In order to identify the most sui...

—In this paper, we present a model to analyze the performance of three transmission strategies with smart antennas, i.e. directional antennas with adjustable transmission power. ...
Abstract—Many routing protocols have been proposed for wireless ad hoc networks, and most of them are based on some variants of flooding. Thus many routing messages are propagat...
—It is well known that IEEE 802.11 provides a physical layer multirate capability and, hence, MAC layer mechanisms are needed to exploit this capability. Several solutions have b...
