ad hoc wireless networks are analyzed under a circuit-switched network communication …

Ad hoc wireless networks represent a new communication paradigm and could be an
important means of providing ubiquitous communication in the future. Based on a recently …

In ad hoc networks, directional antennas offer many benefits compared with classical
omnidirectional antennas. Those include significant increases in spatial reuse, coverage …

This paper reports on research into the relevance and prevalence of different events and
conditions occurring at the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer in a multi-hop wireless …

Ad-hoc networks, though an attractive solution for many applications, still presents many
unsolved issues, such as the hidden-terminal problem, flexible and prompt access, QoS …

The mobile ad hoc network (MANET) architecture has received a lot of attention recently.
