Abstract— The ability of smart antennas to improve performance in a typically constrained ad-hoc network environment, has helped them garner significant attention over the last ...
— 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...

— The use of directional antennas in mobile ad hoc networks has shown to offer large potential throughput gains relative to omnidirectional antennas. When used in ad hoc networks...
— Transmission power control (TPC) has been used in wireless ad hoc networks to improve channel reuse and/or reduce energy consumption. It has been mainly applied to single-input...
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...
