— MIMA-MAC is the most attractive MAC protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks, which consist of nodes with multiple antennas. MIMA-MAC, however, uses only a half of antennas for data t...
—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. ...
— In this paper, we propose a novel asynchronous Media Access Control (MAC) protocol, Opportunistic MAC (OMAC), for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) ad-hoc networks. The pro...
