Discovery of Directional Communication Channels in AD HOC Networks

Abstract

We examine the process of discovering directional antenna communication channels in ad hoc networks and discuss how available location information can be used to guide the search. We outline methods to estimate the bearings of potential directional links and focus the search in sectors where greater payoff is expected, thus increasing its effectiveness and reducing unnecessary probing.
