Terahertz (THz)-band (0.1–10 THz) communication is envisioned as a key technology for the next generation of wireless communications, with potential to enable Terabit-per-second (Tbps) links. To overcome high path loss this band, use directional antennas on both transmitter and receiver necessary even distances few meters. This paper presents an Adaptive Directional Antenna Protocol THz network...

Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are usually designed as random access protocols that apply different kinds of backoff strategies since Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based protocols with admission control are very complex and require mechanisms for synchronization. Without such mechanisms, fair or priority based medium access with Quality of Servic...

The Manhattan Street Network (MSN) with the Clockwork Routing scheme has been proposed as a particularly suitable candidate for use in optical networks. However, without any medium access control (MAC), the success of the MSN with Clockwork Routing in optical networks would be inhibited by the destination-release protocol, since the protocol provides no guarantee of fair access or bounded traff...
