Collision avoidance mechanisms in multi-channel wireless networks using directional antennas.

However, applying directional antennas to wireless networks can also cause new collisions, such as the new hidden terminal problem and the deafness problem. We study the challenges in the MAC layer design with directional antennas and present the state of the art of current MAC protocols with direct...
