The data demand for 5G networks is expected to be much higher than current throughput
requirements. To meet this demand, a dense topology of interlinked small cells is needed …

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 …

Neighbor discovery (ND) is a critical primitive for 60-GHz wireless networks with highly
directional radios. Prior work has attempted to improve the ND efficiency but overlooks the …

This book investigates the most advanced theories and methodologies of array
beamforming, with a focus on antenna array enabled wireless communication technology …

One of the primary sources of inefficiency in today's wireless networks is the half-duplex
constraint–the assumption that nodes cannot transmit and receive simultaneously in the …

Novel distributed space mission concepts such as fractionation and federation promise to
transform the design and operations approach of future missions. These paradigms require …

Directional antenna has received intensive research interests in recent years due to its
potential to increase communication efficiency and resilience to interference and jamming …

The integration of directional antennas in ad-hoc networks offers tremendous potential for
improving the overall network performance. However, the use of directional antennas makes …

Directional antennas are widely used technologies for reducing signal interference and
increasing spatial reuse. In this paper, we propose a topology control method for multi …

The Airborne Internet is envisioned to be a large scale multihop wireless mesh network of
civil aviation aircraft connected via long range highly directional air-to-air radio links. We …
