Introduction (1/3)Introduction (1/3)

Ad hoc network may be much more geographically distributed with many partially overlapping radio coverage areas.May be a greater potential for spatial reuse of the transmission medium.Where increased spatial capacity is available, the protocols should be able to exploit it.

Introduction (2/3)References

Low-cost adaptive antenna technologies have appeared. [1]Non-interfering due to the high degree of selectivity. [2]Use an IEEE 802.11-style RTS/CTS exchange with omni-directional transmission first.Physical layer parameters such as transmit power [3] and transmission rate [4] .RTS/CTS exchange is used to determine which of the ( 4) sectors should be used at the source and destination [5]

Introduction (3/3)References

MAC protocol using directive antennas . Uses GPS to determine which sector should be used to communicate with a given destination [6]Smart antennas have also been used at the access point by the IEEE 802.11 PCF [7] ,Increases in capacity were obtained using multi-beam space division multiple access(SDMA) under control of the basestation.

No Power Control (NPC)Data packet/ACK transmission following the RTS/CTS exchange is done at the same transmit power. Pd = Pt

Global Power Control (GPC)DATA/ACK transmitter power is reduced to the same level. Pd = Pt

Local Power Control (LPC)Nodes use the values of the received RTS/CTS power levels to compute how much power reduction is required.
