The demand for wireless bandwidth in indoor environments such as homes and offices
continues to increase rapidly. Although wireless technologies such as MIMO can reach link …

Recent work demonstrates that directional antennas have significant potential to improve
wireless network capacity in indoor environments. This paper provides a broader …

We report a first-of-its-kind realization of directional transmission for smartphone-like mobile
devices using multiple passive directional antennas, supported by only one RF chain. The …

Compared with omni‐directional antennas, directional antennas have many merits, such as
lower interference, better spatial reuse, longer transmission range, and improved network …

Directional antennas in wireless mesh networks can improve spatial reuse. However, using
them effectively needs specialized protocol support at the MAC layer, which is always not …

In this paper, we study the design and development of airborne WiFi networks through
directional antennae. Specifically, we conduct an experimental study to investigate the …

Motivated by recent interest in directional antennas for WSNs, we propose a Four-Beam
Patch Antenna (FBPA) designed to meet the size, cost and complexity constraints of sensor …

Directional antennas have been shown to have the potential to provide dramatic increases
in throughput and reduction in delay, while simultaneously requiring lower transmit power …

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

Using directional antennas can be beneficial for wireless ad hoc networks consisting of a
collection of wireless hosts. To best utilize directional antennas, a suitable medium access …
