In this work, we investigate the use of directional antennas and beam steering techniques to
improve performance of 802.11 links in the context of communication between amoving …

We study the benefits of electronically-switched directional (ESD) antennas in wireless
sensor networks (WSNs). ESD antennas have proved beneficial in cellular and ad-hoc …

We provide a measurement study of a single vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) link using 802.11 b as
the link layer technology. Our goal is to investigate practical usage of steerable beam …

Directional antennas improve network performance by increasing the communication range
and alleviating contention as proven, eg, in cellular and ad-hoc networks. In principle, one …

In this paper, we present an analysis of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Networks employing
beamforming at both the transmitter and the receiver when positioning errors are present …

We present DPT: a wireless sensor network protocol for bulk traffic that uniquely leverages
electronically switchable directional (ESD) antennas. Bulk traffic is found in several …

By radiating the power in the direction of choice, electronically-switched directional (ESD)
antennas can reduce network contention and avoid packet loss. There exists some ESD …

It is often convenient to power up peripheral devices directly from the host device interface,
without a need for additional and/or external power supply. In this paper we present a …

Vehicle-based ad-hoc networks are a new communication technology with special
requirements regarding security and availability. The thesis examines the specific …

This paper characterizes the impact of interference on vehicular communications employing
beamforming links between transmitters and receivers operating within a multipath …
