Directional-to-Directional MAC (DtDMAC) protocol

چکیده
In this project report, we design a MAC protocol for direction-t0-directional (DtDMAC) transmission. We study the issues that face this type of transmission and then design an efficient protocol that is derived from the IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC protocol to address these issues. We present some preliminary simulation results that prove the feasibility of the proposed protocol.

Evaluation of a BIBD Based Directional MAC Protocol for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
The use of directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve global performance due to a high spatial channel reuse. Nevertheless, its introduction poses new location dependent problems related to the MAC protocol. In this paper, the Balanced Incomplete Block Design theory has been exploited to develop a new MAC protocol for wireless ad hoc networks using directional ant...
متن کاملA Directional MAC Protocol with Deafness Avoidance in Ad Hoc Networks
This paper addresses the issue of deafness in MAC (Medium Access Control) protocols for wireless ad hoc networks using directional antennas. Directional antennas are expected to provide significant improvements over omni-directional antennas in ad hoc networks, such as high spatial reuse and range extension. Recently, several MAC protocols using directional antennas, typically referred to as di...
متن کاملA Directional-to-Directional MAC protocol for ad-hoc networks
The use of directional antennae in ad-hoc networks has received growing attention in recent years. However, most directional MAC protocols assume interchangeable directional and omni-directional modes of operation. Such operation reduces the spatial gain and introduces the asymmetry in gain problem. In this paper, we propose a directional-to-directional (DtD) MAC protocol for ad-hoc networks th...
متن کاملSolving the Hidden Terminal problems Using Directional- Antenna Based MAC Protocol for Wireless Adhoc Networks
In wireless networks, hidden terminal problem is common and leads to collision which makes it difficult to provide the required quality of multimedia services or support priority based services. To overcome these problems a directional antennas have been extensively used in designing MAC protocols for wireless network. Directional antennas provide many advantages over the classical antennas. In...
متن کاملDeafness Resilient MAC Protocol for Directional Communications
It is known that wireless ad hoc networks employing omnidirectional communications suffer from poor network throughput due to inefficient spatial reuse. Although the use of directional communications is expected to provide significant improvements in this regard, the lack of efficient mechanisms to deal with deafness and hidden terminal problems makes it difficult to fully explore its benefits....
