Using directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve network
performance. However, serious problems, such as the deafness and hidden terminal …

System-level simulations for ad hoc networks require the mean power that is received by an
arbitrary unit of the piconet as an input parameter. Since the radio channel in piconets …

An Erratum has been published for this article in Wireless Communications and Mobile
Computing 2004; 4 (4): 473. We extend the previously well‐known results on the capacity of …

This paper investigates the benefits and impacts of using directional antennas for multicast
communications in ad hoc networks. In terms of signal reception, directional antennas have …

In this paper, a Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)-based directional routing protocol is invoked
for wireless ad hoc networks using directional antennas. This is designed to balance the …

We examine in this paper the benefits of beamforming techniques in ad hoc networks. We
first devise a novel MAC paradigm for ad hoc networks when using these techniques in …

Directional antennas can be useful in significantly increasing node and network lifetime in
wireless ad hoc networks. In order to utilize directional antennas, an algorithm is needed …

We propose a novel medium access control (MAC) algorithm using pure directional
transmission and reception for mobile wireless ad hoc networks with directional antennas …

Developing with the node communication ability, the demand of ad-hoc networking has
been turned from the terrestrial nodes to the air vehicles. In this paper, we discuss the …
