We concentrate on an ad hoc network model with nodes on integer lattice points over a 2D
plane. We examine the limits of ad hoc network performance for systems with antenna …

The capacity of wireless ad hoc networks is constrained by the interference caused by the
neighboring nodes. Gupta and Kumar have shown that the throughput for such networks is …

It is known at a qualitative level that directional antennas can be used to boost the capacity
of wireless ad hoc networks. Lacking is a measure to quantify this advantage and to …

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] …

The capacity of ad hoc wireless networks is constrained by the interference between
concurrent transmissions from neighboring nodes. Gupta and Kumar have shown that the …

Throughput scaling laws of an ad hoc network equipping directional antennas at each node
are analyzed. More specifically, this paper considers a general framework in which the …

In this paper, we investigate the capacity bounds and throughput performance of ad hoc
wireless networks with directional antennas. The capacity of a wireless network is …

Current wireless ad hoc networks use omnidirectional antennas at each node that allow it to
transmit or receive only a single packet of data at given time. We investigate the use of smart …

Directional antennas can be useful in significantly increasing the capacity of wireless ad hoc
networks. With directional antennas, independent communications between nodes can …

This paper analyzes the impact of beamforming antennas on the topological connectivity of
multihop wireless networks. As a metric for the connectivity of the network, we use the …
