Carrier-sense protocols for packet-switched smart antenna basestations
Abstract
Researchers have recently considered the use of smart antennas in various packet-switched data networks. Previously, a single-beam system was described which employs a smart antenna basestation, operating in carrier-sense (CSMA) mode. Performance improvements are obtained by having the antenna dynamically point pattern nulls in the direction of interfering stations, thus reducing the frequency of channel collisions. In this paper, we consider …
