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...
With the unique features of spatial multiplexing and interference suppression, Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques have great potential in the improvement of network ...

— Directional antennas are a promising option for use in ad-hoc networks for a variety of reasons, such as increased spatial reuse, reduced interference and enabling more effici...
— We study the throughput capacity of hybrid wireless networks. A hybrid network is formed by placing a sparse network of base stations in an ad hoc network. These base stations ...
— Wireless spectrum is a scare resource, while media streaming usually requires high end-to-end bandwidth. Media streaming in wireless ad hoc networks is therefore a particularly...
