— Directional antennas in multihop wireless networks offer a potential increase in the spatial reuse of the wireless channel. However, existing directional MAC protocols are not ...
The paper presents a detailed discussion of various issues involved in designing a medium access control (MAC) protocol for multihop wireless networks with nodes employing multiple...
We consider the problem of efficient link-layer multicasting in wireless networks with switched beamforming antennas. The inherent tradeoff between multicasting and beamforming ...
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...
