We introduce a model for capturing the effects of beam misdirection on coverage and
throughput in a directional wireless network using stochastic geometry. In networks …

This survey paper presents the state-of-the-art directional medium access control (MAC)
protocols in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks (WAHSNs). The key benefits of directional …

The use of smart directional antennas in ad-hoc networks has recently received much
attention since this technology offers a way to optimize power consumption, increase spatial …

This paper studies the exact per node throughput capacity of a MANET, where the
transmission power of each node can be controlled to adapt to a specified transmission …

While scaling law results on the performance of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have
been extensively reported in literature, the exact performance of such networks, particularly …

This paper studies the performance of a general two-hop relay (2HR)-(x, w, f) packet delivery
scheme that combines both erasure coding and packet replication techniques in mobile ad …

Cooperative multicast serves as an efficient communication paradigm for supporting
multicast-intensive applications in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Available studies on …

This paper deals with the problem of multicast routing in Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless
Mesh Networks (MRMC-WMNs) equipped with directional antennas. We jointly consider the …

This paper addresses the interference optimization problem for multicast/broadcast traffics in
multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks equipped with directional antennas. Since …

Available throughput performance studies for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) suffer from
two major limitations: they mainly focus on the scaling law study of throughput, while the …
