Experimental characterization of sectorized antennas in dense 802.11 wireless mesh networks
Anand Prabhu Subramanian, Henrik Lundgren, Theodoros Salonidis · 2009
Sectorized antennas can increase wireless network capacity through greater spatial reuse. Despite their increasing popularity, their real-world performance characteristics in dense wireless mesh networks are not well understood. This paper conducts a systematic experimental study on a mesh network testbed using commodity 802.11 hardware and multi-sector antennas.
