Abstract:

An Ad-hoc network is a dynamic network worked on demand by a group of lumps without any preexistingnetwork infrastructure. Self configurability and relaxed deployment piece of the Mobile Ad-hoc network (MANET) resulted in abundant claims in modern era. An effective and effective medium accesscontrol (MAC) protocol is important in ad-hoc network for proper allotment of channel. The omnidirectionalantenna has been used in outdated MAC protocols. More demandingconsideration is giventoward the directional antenna by researchers due to competency of spatial reuse and other beneficialfeatures. Central focuses of this paper is to discus and appraise the performance of MAC protocol expendingomni-directional and directional antenna. We conducted a virtual simulation study of differentMAC protocols using Omni-directional and directional antenna. Presentation metrics like throughputand delay are used for the performance analysis. On the basis of result derived from recreation acomparison among these MAC protocols using directional antenna is given.

Keywords:

Ad-hoc network, Directional antenna, Directional MAC protocol, Smart antenna.
