In this paper, we present an analytical model for evaluating the impact of shadowing and
beamforming on the connectivity of wireless ad hoc networks accommodating nodes …

This paper analyzes the effects of beamforming on the connectivity of wireless ad hoc
networks. We study different beamforming techniques using the uniform circular array as the …

Beamforming antennas have the potential to provide a fundamental breakthrough in ad hoc
network capacity. We present a broad-based examination of this potential, focusing on …

Wireless ad hoc networks are typically assumed to be equipped with omnidirectional
antennas. With advances in signal processing and antenna technology, it may now be …

Throughput scaling laws of an ad hoc network equipping directional antennas at each node
are analyzed. More specifically, this paper considers a general framework in which the …

Multihop wireless networks will play an important role in future communication networks.
Beamforming antennas have shown great potential to improve the connectivity in these …

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 first present an analytical procedure for the computation of the node
isolation probability and coverage in an ad hoc network in the presence of channel …

In this paper, we investigate the effect of Rayleigh fading on the connectivity of wireless ad
hoc networks. We consider static nodes that are equipped with omnidirectional antennas …

The aim of this letter is to determine the minimum node density to achieve a connected large-
scale ad hoc network, where every node has the same transmitting and receiving …
