Abstract—Directional antennas are expected to provide significant improvements over omni-directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks. Directional MAC protocols, however, int...
A new modeling framework is introduced for the analytical study of medium access control (MAC) protocols operating in multihop ad hoc networks. The model takes into account the eï...

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks under imperfect channel estimation. To this end, we also present an an...
Studies of ad hoc wireless networks are a relatively new field gaining more popularity for various new applications. In these networks, the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols a...
