Previous research on directional antennas has been confined mostly to medium access
control. However, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of directional antennas on the …

This paper evaluates the tradeoffs involved in using directional antennas in ad hoc routing.
Although problems with utilizing directional antennas have been visited in the past, the …

This report addresses the problem of using directional antennas in ad hoc routing. Although
the problems with utilizing directional antennas have been visited in the past, the research …

This paper addresses the issue of routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) using
directional antennas. Existing directional routing schemes either assume a complete …

In this paper, we propose a directional routing protocol (DRP) for MANETs. DRP is an on-
demand directional routing protocol which assumes a cross layer interaction between …

Directional antennas in ad hoc networks offer many benefits compared with classical
omnidirectional antennas. The most important include significant increase of spatial reuse …

Directional antennas offer tremendous potential for improving the performance of ad hoc
networks. Harnessing this potential, however, requires new mechanisms at the medium …

We propose a novel medium access control (MAC) algorithm using pure directional
transmission and reception for mobile wireless ad hoc networks with directional antennas …

In this paper, we present the initial design and evaluation of two techniques for routing
improvement using directional antennas in mobile ad hoc networks. First, we use directional …

A directional routing approach for multihop ad-hoc networks, is presented which has been
applied to two on-demand routing protocols: namely dynamic source routing (DSR) and ad …
