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...
Analysis of the drafi IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) standard is needed to characterize the expected performance of the standard’s ad hoc and infrastructure netw...

Although directional antennas have been used in mobile communications systems for quite a long time, realistic applications of directional or smart antennas in wireless ad hoc net...
In this paper, we outline a simple approach, called ROAR, that enables the Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol to strengthen its routes by recruiting neighbors...
