In this paper we present a novel neighbor discovery protocol for networks with directional
antennas. The novelty of this protocol lies in two aspects. Firstly, in order to cope with …

Multi-channel wireless networks are increasingly deployed as infrastructure networks, eg in
metro areas. Network nodes frequently employ directional antennas to improve spatial …

The mobile ad network has become a new area in the communication networks and is being
congested due to viability and utility of the ad hoc networks in every area. The wide use has …

This paper studies the capacity of an node static wireless network with c channels and m
radio interfaces per node under the protocol model of interference. In their seminal work …

Directional antenna offers various benefits for wireless sensor networks, such as increased
spatial reuse ratio and reduced energy consumption. In this paper, we formulate the …

This paper presents the first analytical model of wireless ad hoc networks that considers the
impact of realistic antenna-gain patterns on network performance. As such, our modeling …

Recently, in an effort to increase the capacity of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs),
researchers have begun equipping routers with multiple interfaces/radios, and connecting …

The application of directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks offers numerous
benefits, such as the extended communication range, the increased spatial reuse, the …

A directional routing approach for multihop ad-hoc networks, is presented which has been
applied to two on-demand routing protocols: namely dynamic source routing (DSR) and ad …

The per-node throughput capacity of hybrid radio frequency and free space optics (RF/FSO)
networks is studied and the benefit of using this hybrid network architecture over the pure RF …
