Most of studies on network capacity are based on the assumption that all the nodes are
uniformly distributed, which means that the networks are characterized by homogeneity …

We study the throughput capacity of hybrid wireless networks with a directional antenna. The
hybrid wireless network consists of n randomly distributed nodes equipped with a directional …

Capacity is one fundamental problem in wireless networks. Directional antennas to wireless
networks can decrease interference and increase spatial reuse. Thus, it is a great …

Recently, the use of directional antennas in multi-hop wireless networks has received
increasing attention in the research community due to their potential benefits and numerous …

With the introduction of directional antennas into wireless networks, the beamwidth
decreases and the range extends; thus both the mutual interference and the number of hops …

Capacity is an important aspect to evaluate network performance. However, most of studies
on network capacity are focused on two-dimensional networks. In this paper, we present a …

Most of studies on network capacity focus on the networks in a two-dimensional space.
However, with the development of technology, capacity analysis of three-dimensional …

Capacity is one fundamental problem in wireless Ad hoc networks. Deploying directional
antennas to wireless networks can reduce interference among concurrent transmissions and …

Network capacity has been widely studied in recent years. However, most of the literatures
focus on the networks where nodes are distributed in a two-dimensional space. In this …
