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 …

Considering a disk of unit area with n nodes, we investigate the capacity of wireless
networks using directional antennas. First, we study the throughput capacity of random …

Multi-beam antenna technologies have provided lots of promising solutions to many current
challenges faced in wireless mesh networks. The antenna can establish several …

In this paper, we investigate the network connectivity of wireless sensor networks with
directional antennas. In particular, we establish a general framework to analyze the network …

Connectivity is one of the most fundamental properties, if not the most fundamental property,
of communication networks. A communication network is said to be connected if there is a …

Connectivity and capacity are two fundamental properties of wireless multihop networks.
The scalability of these properties has been a primary concern for which asymptotic analysis …

Motivated by the benefits of small-world networks, we propose a self-organization framework
for wireless ad hoc networks. We investigate the use of directional beamforming for creating …

Connectivity of large-scale wireless networks has received considerable attention in the past
several years. Different from traditional wireless networks, in Cognitive Radio Ad-hoc …

A major obstacle stunting the application of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is the lack of
a general throughput analysis theory for such networks. The available works in this area …

A substantial body of the literature exists addressing the capacity of wireless networks.
However, it is commonly assumed that all nodes in the network are identical. The issue of …
