Abstract
Directional antenna has received intensive research interests in recent years due to its potential to increase communication efficiency and resilience to interference and jamming. In this paper, we provide a novel directional MAC protocol termed SYN-DMAC for ad hoc networks with synchronization. We demonstrate our proposed SYN-DMAC can efficiently address the major open problems in the directional MAC design such as the deafness problem, the hidden terminal problem, the exposed terminal problem and the head-of-line (HOL) blocking problem. Preliminary simulation results show that our scheme significantly improves throughput in comparison with IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol
