title = "A MAC protocol based on busy tone for ad-hoc networks with beamforming antennas",
abstract = "This article propose a directional MAC protocol of ad hoc networks based on busy tone, which is a modification of the IEEE 802.11 DCF(distributed coordination function), namely TBTMA/DA(Triple Busy Tone Medium Access protocol with Directional Antennas). According to the directional busy tone, our protocol can avoid data conflict, which will solve the 'deaf' and directional 'hidden terminal' and other new problems that caused by the directional transmission. Compared with some other typical directional MAC schemes like DBTMA/DA(Double Busy Tone Medium Access protocol with Directional Antennas) and the traditional IEEE 802.11 DCF, simulation results show that our protocol can obtain higher network throughput, and better fairness of the link between 'deaf' nodes.",
