Abstract :
We study how to achieve a desired connectivity in a wireless mesh network using beamforming antennas. We show that there is no unique solution to this problem. We propose a simple algorithm, directionality as needed (DAN), which strikes a good balance between the dual goals of minimum network design cost and minimum interference among different links.
