The use of directional antenna in wireless ad hoc networks potentially increases simultaneous communication by directing the transmitting and receiving beams towards the receiver a...
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...
—Cooperative relaying has been shown to provide diversity gains which can significantly improve the Packet Error Rate (PER) in wireless transmissions. In ad hoc wireless routing...

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...
