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

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 …

Recent research results have demonstrated the feasibility of full-duplex wireless
communication for short-range links. Although the focus of the previous works has been …

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh routers and mesh clients, where mesh
routers have minimal mobility and form the backbone of WMNs. They provide network …

This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs). The authors describe the existing WSN applications and discuss the research …

Antenna arrays have a long history of more than 100 years and have evolved closely with
the development of electronic and information technologies, playing an indispensable role …

Ad hoc networks provide an on-demand, infrastructure-free means to communicate between
soldiers in war zones, aid workers in disaster areas, or consumers in device-to-device (D2D) …

While the current generation of mobile and fixed communication networks has been
standardized for mobile broadband services, the next generation is driven by the vision of …

We investigate spatial interference statistics for multigigabit outdoor mesh networks
operating in the unlicensed 60-GHz “millimeter (mm) wave” band. The links in such networks …

We present a cross-layer modeling and design approach for multiGigabit indoor wireless
personal area networks (WPANs) utilizing the unlicensed millimeter (mm) wave spectrum in …
