“…Under both network scenarios, we consider a generic reconfigurable antenna, where reconfigurability means that an antenna can generate a beam which can be switched in different directions. Our work This generic directional antenna model is widely considered in fundamental research analysis relating to directional antennas (see [13], [26], and the references therein). We also use s i,j to represent the ith sector of the jth user in the network, and ψ jk is used to denote the sector that user j is using to successfully communicate with another user k. Without loss of generality, for the derivation of closed-form solutions and tractability we consider that | S j |=| S |, i.e., to be same among all N users and is denoted by S. However, our proposed discovery/rediscovery methods are equivalently valid for the heterogeneous cases, where heterogeneity is in terms of number of antenna sectors among the users.…”

Use of smart directional antennas in handheld devices to generate a narrow beam in different directions for mmWave/TeraHertz communications present significant challenges. Devices using such antennas may have to scan several different directions in three-dimensional (3D) space to discover another user or an access point, a process that can result in problematic delays. Moreover, small movements of a user/device in the form of rotation and/or displacement may cause the discovered link to be lost. This paper proposes adaptive link discovery algorithms for devices in both infrastructure/ad hoc networks and evaluates their performance in terms of timeto-discovery. We show that one of the two proposed methods provides guaranteed discovery. We use an inertial measurement unit sensor to help intelligently rediscover a lost/degraded link. We propose sensor assisted link prediction methods for lowlatency rediscovery in 3D space. We evaluate the effectiveness of our prediction-based rediscovery methods by testing them with real datasets representing various user/device 3D rotation patterns. We show that the smoothing based rediscovery can reach the prediction accuracy to 100% when two antenna sectors are searched, and it reduces the time-to-rediscovery by up to Sx (S times) as compared to the time-to-discovery, where S is the number of antenna sectors.

“…Olcer et al [17] propose a neighbor scanning strategy to reduce the discovery time by eliminating the unlikely sector scans based on the node position. An et al [18], [19] develop analytical frameworks to investigate the neighbor discovery performance through two theoretical models: one-way neighbor discovery and handshake-based neighbor discovery. On the other hand, several studies have focused on the reduction of control overhead and energy consumption in neighbor discovery with directional antennas.…”

“…Specifically, we consider two modes defined in [18], [19]: 1) directional transmitting and omni-directional receiving (DO) mode and 2) directional transmitting and directional receiving (DD) mode. In the handshake based DO-ND scheme, devices transmit frames with directional antenna and receive frames with omnidirectional antenna to search a randomly located target device.…”

A 60 GHz radio is an attractive technology in wireless home networks because it can provide high data rate up to a few Gbps. A 60 GHz network generally uses directional antennas and has a problem of neighbor discovery even though it has an advantage of high data transmissions. In particular, if a directional antenna is used in self-organized wireless adhoc networks, the neighbor discovery time and energy consumption can be significantly increased. To solve this problem, we propose a multi-band directional neighbor discovery scheme, in which management procedures are carried out by using the 2.4 GHz band with the omni-directional antennas whereas data transmissions are performed by using the 60 GHz band with directional antennas. Analytical models on the neighbor discovery time and energy consumption are also derived by considering assisted and beamforming periods in the neighbor discovery procedure through the omni-directional antenna and directional antenna. Performance evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms comparative schemes that use only directional beamforming in terms of the average neighbor discovery time and energy consumption.Index Terms-Directional antennas, mmWave ad-hoc networks, multi-band application, neighbor discovery, selforganization.0018-9545 (c)

“…Due to the asynchronous feature of beam direction in the different nodes, neighbor discovery procedure has to be considered. In SCT, the directional network allocation vector (DNAV) [2] and the one-way neighbor discovery (one-way ND) [8] are used for neighbor discovery. With DNAV, the nodes keep a record of the ongoing transmissions by their neighbors in each direction.…”

This paper presents a selective cooperative transmission scheme (abbreviated SCT) for ad hoc network with directional antennas that leverages the benefits of directional-only antenna approach and cooperative communication. The main feature of SCT is its adaptability to the channel condition in the network. In other words, when the node sends data, SCT determines its transmission strategy on either direct or cooperative transmission via a relay node called a forwarder, depending on the transmission time. Simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
