Neighbor discovery is a crucial step in the initialization of wireless ad hoc networks. When
directional antennas are used, this process becomes more challenging since two …

Novel preventive link maintenance scheme based on directional antennas has been
proposed to extend the life of the link for multihop infrastructureless networks such as Mobile …

The integration of directional antennas in ad-hoc networks offers tremendous potential for
improving the overall network performance. However, the use of directional antennas makes …

Low probability of detection (LPD) is an important requirement of mobile ad-hoc networks in
battlefield applications. Although directional antennas are a suitable means to achieve LPD …

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 …

In this paper, we propose a distributed neighbor discovery algorithm in ad hoc networks
using directional antennas. A newly joining node obtains the information about its neighbors …

We propose the use of directional antennas for improving the efficiency of on-demand
protocols in mobile ad hoc networks. These protocols require that routes are found and …

We introduce a new neighbor discovery method for wireless nodes with adaptive antennas,
called" directional ZigZag." Adaptive antennas are capable of electronically changing their …

In this paper, a Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)-based directional routing protocol is invoked
for wireless ad hoc networks using directional antennas. This is designed to balance the …

In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), when information about the location of the destination
node is known, efficient communication can be achieved by using location-based routing …
