Carrier-Sense Protocols for Packet-Switched Smart Antenna Basestations
Abstract
Studies have considered the possible performance improvements when smart antennas are used in packet-switched data networks [1, 2, 3]. This work has included systems which operate using various ALOHA, polling, and reservation-based protocols. Recently however, a single-beam system was described which uses a smart antenna basestation to communicate with a set of stations using a carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) protocol [4]. In this system, …
