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] …

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

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 …

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 …

The use of smart antennas in wireless ad hoc networks has garnered attention over the last
few years. Given the unique capabilities of smart antennas, and how they can improve …

A large portion of the network capacity of an ad hoc network can be wasted by the medium
access mechanisms of omni-directional antennas. To overcome this problem, researchers …

Beamforming antennas have the potential to provide a fundamental breakthrough in ad hoc
network capacity. We present a broad-based examination of this potential, focusing on …

We consider the problem of determining rates of growth for the maximum stable throughput
achievable in dense wireless networks. We formulate this problem as one of finding …

A major obstacle stunting the application of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is the lack of
a general throughput analysis theory for such networks. The available works in this area …
