In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directiona...
Recently there is an increasing interest in using directional antennas and multi-channel for Ad-hoc wireless networks. Directional antennas provide higher capacity and less multi-...
Abstract—In this paper we study optimal transmission strategies in wireless ad-hoc networks using directional antennas. Each node is capable of adjusting its transmission rate as...
In this paper, we propose a new Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for full exploitation of directional antennas in wireless networks. The protocol introduces a circular directio...
