چکیده

In this paper, we perform a comparative evaluation of characteristics multi-hop transmission of typical omni-directional MAC protocol IEEE 802.11 DCF and three directional MAC protocols. We consider the validity of the directional MAC protocols and problems. Additionally, we describe the suitable environment when a directional MAC protocol is used. Furthermore, we propose three schemes as dealing with performance degradation resulting from a directional hidden terminal, and evaluate all of the three schemes. Consequently, although it was by topology, it turns out that the throughput performance improves.

Asympotic capacity bounds for ad-hoc networks revisited: the directional and smart antenna cases

Directional and smart antennas can be useful in increasing the capacity of wireless ad hoc networks. A number of media access and routing protocols have been recently proposed for use with such antennas, and have shown significant performance improvements over the omni-directional case. However, it is important to explore if and how different directional and smart antenna designs affect the asy...

An RSSI-Based Cross Layer Protocol for Directional Ad Hoc Networks and Its Implementation

Smart antenna (or directional antenna) technology has been developed recently, which can control its antenna beam pattern to a specified direction by software. Medium access control (MAC) protocols using smart antennas, called directional MAC protocols, have the following potentials: higher spatial reuse, larger extension of communication range, less interference and higher total throughput com...

Capacity Enhancement of Ad Hoc Networks using a New Beamforming Scheme Based on ESPAR

This paper proposes a new smart antenna beamforming scheme based on electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR). The proposed method is capable of providing better capacity compared to the conventional ESPAR. The termination of each antenna element in this structure comprises a PIN diode in addition to a varactor. Using PIN diode besides the varactor provides more degrees of freed...

Reflections on Smart Antennas for MAC Protocols in Multihop Ad Hoc Networks

Smart and directional antennas can be used to improve the throughput performance of wireless communications in ad hoc networks. This improvement consists basically of minimizing collision and increasing simultaneous communications. Directional antennas reduce potential collision zone since data packets are directionally transmitted. Smart antennas are more intelligent than directional antennas ...

Ad Hoc Networks Testbed Using a Practice Smart Antenna with IEEE802.15.4 Wireless Modules

Recent studies on directional media access protocols (MACs) using smart antennas for wireless ad hoc networks have shown that directional MACs outperform against traditional omini-directional MACs. Those studies evaluate the performance mainly on simulations, where antenna beam is assumed to be ideal, i.e., with neither side-lobes nor back-lobes. Propagation conditions are also assumed to be ma...
