Abstract

Ad hoc MAC protocols using directional antennas can be used to improve the network capacity by improving spatial reuse. But, the directional MAC protocols have the problem of deafness and have a poor throughput performance. The dual-channel DMAC protocol has been proposed to mitigate deafness and improve spatial reuse. In this paper, we propose a dual-channel DMAC protocol using the omnidirectional antenna for an out-of-band tone and directional antennas for control/data channels. In the proposed MAC protocol, an omnidirectional out-of-band tone mitigates deafness and directional antennas used in control/data channels improve spatial reuse and reduce interference packets. The throughput performance of the proposed MAC protocol is confirmed by computer simulations using Qualnet ver. 3.8 simulator.
