Over the last decade, the paradigm of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) has matured to a
reasonably commonly understood one, and there has been extensive research on various …

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 …

Not too long ago, both wireless communications and radar systems involved either
expensive terminals or large infrastructure. On the communication side, this changed with …

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 …

The ability of newer generations of commercially available radios used on the sensor nodes
to tune their operating frequency over different channels provides an opportunity to alleviate …

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

In this paper we consider the problem of maximizing the number of supported connections in
arbitrary wireless networks where a transmission is supported if and only if the signal-to …

The beamforming antenna technology is a promising solution to many challenges facing
wireless ad hoc networks. Beamforming antennas have the ability to increase the spatial …

This paper considers two inter-related questions:(i) Given a wireless ad-hoc network and a
collection of source-destination pairs {(si, ti)}, what is the maximum throughput capacity of …

In this paper, we address the problem of gateway placement for throughput optimization in
multi-hop wireless mesh networks. Assume that each mesh node in the mesh network has a …
