In this paper, we investigate the effect of Rayleigh fading on the connectivity of wireless ad
hoc networks. We consider static nodes that are equipped with omnidirectional antennas …

In this paper, we present an analytical procedure for the computation of the node isolation
probability in an ad hoc network in the presence of channel randomness, with applications …

We examine in this paper the benefits of beamforming techniques in ad hoc networks. We
first devise a novel MAC paradigm for ad hoc networks when using these techniques in …

We consider a wireless ad hoc network where each node employs a single-beam directional
antenna and is provisioned with limited energy. We are interested in an online routing …

Protocols for beamforming antennas usually direct the beam toward the respective
communication partner. This requires significant coordination between nodes and results in …

Wireless multihop networks are gaining popularity in applications such as mesh networks,
wireless backbones, and sensor networks. Typically, communication protocols designed for …

Network Capacity, which is limited by interference between simultaneous transmissions of
neighboring links, is a fundamental performance metric for wireless ad hoc networks. Ref.[1] …

Simple two-ray model and FRIIS free-space model have been widely used in the literatures
as the propagation models for the performance analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) …

We study wireless ad hoc networks in the absence of any channel contention or transmit
power control and ask how antenna directivity affects network connectivity in the interference …

Connectivity in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks is typically analyzed using a graph-
theoretic approach. In this paper, we investigate an alternative communication-theoretic …
