Minimizing the effect of deafness and hidden terminal problem in wireless ad hoc networks using directional antennas
2006
Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing
In this work we addresses the issue of deafness and hidden terminal problem in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) using directional antennas. To minimize these effects, we propose a MAC protocol for directional Antennas (MDA) 5 which employs a novel Enhanced Directional Network Allocation Vector (EDNAV) scheme and, and an efficient technique of Diametrically Opposite Directions (DOD) transmission of RTS and CTS. We compare MDA with IEEE 802.11 and two recently proposed directional MAC schemes and
