We investigate the problem of converting sets of sensors into strongly connected networks of
sensors using multiple directional antennae. Consider a set S of n points in the plane …

We consider a 3D antenna orientation problem for maintaining connectivity of a wireless
network in 3D space using only directional antennae. Sensors are located at points in 3D …

Connectivity in wireless sensor networks may be established using either omnidirectional or
directional antennae. The former radiate power uniformly in all directions while the latter …

Traditional approaches to connectivity in sensor networks are based on the omnidirectional
antenna model which relies on the assumption that the sensors send and receive in all …

In this paper, we investigate the impact of antenna orientation on the performance of
wireless sensor networks. In the experiments conducted using Crossbow MicaZ motes we …

In this paper, we study the Antenna Orientation (AO) problem concerning symmetric
connectivity in Directional Wireless Sensor Networks. We are given a set of nodes each of …

We study the problem of maintaining connectivity in a wireless network where the network
nodes are equipped with directional antennas. Nodes correspond to points on the plane and …

Directional antennas have the potential to enhance the performance of wireless networks.
However, exploiting their capabilities requires channel access schemes specifically …

This paper concerns wireless sensor networks (WSNs) of which each node is equipped with
k≥ 1 directional antennas having beam-width θ∈(0, 2π). The sum φ k of the beam-widths of …

Directional antennas can be useful in significantly increasing node and network lifetime in
wireless ad hoc networks. In order to utilize directional antennas, an algorithm is needed …
