Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs)[1] are mobile ad-hoc networks formed by small and
medium-sized UAVs. Nowadays, most UAVs are equipped with omnidirectional antennas. In …

The Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs) is relatively a new research area that governs the
autonomous movement of multiple and small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) …

Abstract Flying Ad Hoc Network (FANET) is a novel mobile ad hoc network type where the
communicating nodes are Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). FANETs promise many new …

Previous research on directional antennas has been confined mostly to medium access
control. However, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of directional antennas on the …

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been used recently a lot in military applications as well
as in civilian. It shows great advantages and importance in the search and rescue, real-time …

This paper addresses the issue of routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) using
directional antennas. Existing directional routing schemes either assume a complete …

Many new problems in mobile ad hoc network protocol stack design will emerge after
directional antenna is used by wireless station. In this paper, research results about MAC …

Smart antennas are expected to enhance scalability in ad hoc networks. This paper at first
evaluates three directional MAC protocols, DMAC, MMAC and SWAMP as well as the omni …

This paper evaluates the tradeoffs involved in using directional antennas in ad hoc routing.
Although problems with utilizing directional antennas have been visited in the past, the …

Anypath routing is proposed to improve the performance of wireless networks by exploiting
the spatial diversity and broadcast nature of the wireless medium. In this paper, we study …
