Mobile ad hoc networking: imperatives and challenges (2003, methodology): “MMAC [78] extends the basic DMAC protocol by using multi-hop RTSs to establish a directional link between sender and receiver, then CTS, DATA and ACK are transmitted over a single hop by exploiting the directional antennas gain.”
Visualization of wormholes in sensor networks (2004, background): “The adoption of directional antennas [16, 5] by mobile nodes can improve security.”
Medium Access Control protocols for ad hoc wireless networks: A survey (2006, methodology): “This would lead to better spatial reuse in the other unaffected directions [56].”
Using Directional Antennas to Prevent Wormhole Attacks (2004, background): “Our defense greatly diminishes the threat of wormhole attacks and requires no location information or clock synchronization.”
On neighbor discovery in wireless networks with directional antennas (2005, background): “We emphasize that the focus of this paper is on neighbor discovery alone and not how the discovered neighbor information is used by topology control algorithms [11], [6], [15], medium access protocols [3], [1] and routing algorithms [4].”
Deafness: a MAC problem in ad hoc networks when using directional antennas (2004, methodology): “Sac rificing these benefits will probably be inappropriate, and the refore proposals in [4],[9],[10],[14],[16], almost unanimo usly adopt directional Data/ACK transmissions.”
Wireless mesh networks: a survey (2005, background): “For directional and smart antennas, many MAC protocols have been proposed for ad hoc networks [144,105,82,36].”
Ad hoc networking with directional antennas: a complete system solution (2005, background): “In [5], the authors also discuss a multi-hop RTS scheme to bootstrap the handshake when transmit as well as receive directionality are required to close the link.”
Directional virtual carrier sensing for directional antennas in mobile ad hoc networks (2002, background): “1 DNAV was also proposed independently in [3].”
Passive Self-Interference Suppression for Full-Duplex Infrastructure Nodes (2013, background): “Many algorithms have been proposed for adaptive directional antenna selection [35]–[37], and commercial access points with directional antennas that implement dynamic user selection are in the market [38], [39].”
Modeling Per-Flow Throughput and Capturing Starvation in CSMA Multi-Hop Wireless Networks (2006, background): “Several proposed MAC protocols for ad hoc networks use multiple orthogonal channels in the frequency domain ([28]), code domain ([21]), space domain (directional antennas [10], [25]), or even time domain (slots in a TDMA schedule).”
A MAC protocol for full exploitation of directional antennas in ad-hoc wireless networks (2003, background): “The first two problems are studied extensively in [2], while the third is a natural problem that arises from the fact that for the transmission of a packet, the transmitter must know the location of the receiver to turn over the beam to the appropriate direction.”
