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

Interference between nodes is a critical impairment in mobile ad hoc networks. This paper
studies the role of multiple antennas in mitigating such interference. Specifically, a network …

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

The eavesdropping attack is a serious security threat to a wireless sensor network (WSN)
since the eavesdropping attack is a prerequisite for other attacks. Conventional WSNs …

The capacity of wireless ad hoc networks is affected by two key factors: the interference
among concurrent transmissions and the number of simultaneous transmissions on a single …

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 …

The paper presents a detailed discussion of various issues involved in designing a medium
access control (MAC) protocol for multihop wireless networks with nodes employing multiple …

Recently, multi-hop communication has been introduced in next generation wireless
networks to extend the service coverage area and to improve the wireless transmission …

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 …

In this paper we analyze the capacity of wireless mesh networks that use omni or directional
antennas. The capacity in our analysis is the end-to-end per-node throughput. Our analysis …
