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 capacity of wireless ad hoc networks is affected by two key factors: the interference
among concurrent transmissions and the number of simultaneous transmissions on a single …

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] …

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 …

Directional and smart antennas can be useful in increasing the capacity of wireless ad hoc
networks. A number of media access and routing protocols have been recently proposed for …

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 …

We propose a novel medium access control (MAC) algorithm using pure directional
transmission and reception for mobile wireless ad hoc networks with directional antennas …

Directional antennas offer tremendous potential for improving the performance of ad hoc
networks. Harnessing this potential, however, requires new mechanisms at the medium …
