Recently, rapid increase of mobile devices pushed the radio frequency (RF)-based wireless
technologies to their limits. Free-space-optical (FSO), aka optical wireless, communication …

We present a new metric for routing in multi-radio, multi-hop wireless networks. We focus on
wireless networks with stationary nodes, such as community wireless networks. The goal of …

Next generation fixed wireless broadband networks are being increasingly deployed as
mesh networks in order to provide and extend access to the internet. These networks are …

Directional antennas in ad hoc networks offer many benefits compared with classical
omnidirectional antennas. The most important include significant increase of spatial reuse …

This work addresses deafness-a problem that appears when MAC protocols are designed
using directional antennas. Briefly, deafness is caused when a transmitter fails to …

We consider the problem of neighbor discovery in static wireless ad hoc networks with
directional antennas. We propose several probabilistic algorithms in which nodes perform …

This book provides a comprehensive yet easy coverage of ad hoc and sensor networks and
fills the gap of existing literature in this growing field. It emphasizes that there is a major …

We investigate the possibility of using directional antennas for medium access control in
wireless ad hoc networks. Previous research in ad hoc networks typically assumes the use …

Many MAC sub-layer protocols for supporting the usage of directional antennas in ad hoc
networks have been proposed in literature. However, there remain two open issues that are …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that equipped with directional antenna. We named this
protocol Directional Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (DOLSR). This protocol is based …
