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 …

Considering a disk of unit area with n nodes, we investigate the capacity of wireless
networks using directional antennas. First, we study the throughput capacity of random …

It is shown that the throughput capacity of wireless ad hoc networks using omni-directional
antennas (OMN networks) is significantly decreased with the increased number of nodes …

This paper analyzes the effects of beamforming on the connectivity of wireless ad hoc
networks. We study different beamforming techniques using the uniform circular array as the …

An Erratum has been published for this article in Wireless Communications and Mobile
Computing 2004; 4 (4): 473. We extend the previously well‐known results on the capacity of …

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 …

Publisher Summary Communication is maintained by the transmission of data packets over
a common wireless channel. The absence of any fixed infrastructure such as an array of …

We consider a wireless network of N nodes equipped with omnidirectional antennas, and
we extend the capacity results of some previous works by finding bounds on the maximum …

We study the throughput capacity of hybrid wireless networks with a directional antenna. The
hybrid wireless network consists of n randomly distributed nodes equipped with a directional …

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 …
