Forward Interference Avoidance Concept for Manet Using Adaptive Array Antennas

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new concept namely forward interference avoidance (FIA) using adaptive array antennas (AAAs) for wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). It enables nodes to avoid interfering with other nodes so that it results in increasing the number of co-existent wireless links. The performance improvement of MANET in terms of the increase of the number of co-existent communication links is investigated through computer simulations
