초록

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.
