E-SPAN: Enhanced-SPAN with Directional Antenna

چکیده
Abstruc/A Mobile Ad-hoc'NETwork (MANET), also referred as Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), has nodes which not only sendlreceive'packets associated with them but also co-operate in forwarding dataand control packets for the network. Efficient use of energy by the mobile nodes is very important to increase the lifetime of MANET. Since nodes seldom have packets to receive, they remain in Idle mode for long periods of time which cause a lot of energy drain. Coordination algorithms reduce the time a node is in the Idle mode by keeping it in Sleep mode as much as possible while coordinators buffer packets for these sleeping nodes.

Development of the C-Band Directional Antenna
Army Ground Vehicles are equipped with various antennas that span over a large frequency range of operation. Many of these antennas often encounter physical obstructions from other equipment on the platform. A typical omnidirectional antenna for example, would have difficulty maintaining its performance due to unwanted blockage from these obstructions. In order to overcome the issues of overcro...
متن کاملEffects of Multi-directionality on Pedestrian Flow Characteristics
In design and analysis, standard references assume the pedestrian flow as unidirectional. In reality however, pedestrian flow is usually bi-directional. The main question pursued in this paper is that whether the main characteristics of pedestrian flow the same under uni- and bi-directional conditions. In order to achieve this goal, effect of bi-directional stream is inv...
متن کاملBiologically Inspired Four Elements Compact Antenna Arrays With Enhanced Sensitivity for Direction of Arrival Estimation
A new four elements compact antenna array is presented and discussed to achieve enhanced phase resolution without sacrificing the array output power. This structure inspired by the Ormia Ochracea’s coupled ears. The analogy between this insect acute directional hearing capabilities and the electrically compact antenna array is used to enhance the array sensitivity to direction of arrival estima...
متن کاملChallenges in Deploying Steerable Wireless Testbeds ; CU-CS-1058-09
Phased array antennas enable the use of real-time beam-forming and null-steering to further increase control of signal and interference in wireless networks. Understanding the potential of this platform for both wireless mesh networks and single-hop networks is becoming more important as smart antennas begin to emerge in networking standards such as IEEE 802.11n and 802.16. Prior attempts to te...
