Throughput analysis of cooperative wireless medium access scheme exploiting multi-beam adaptive arrays

Cooperative wireless network medium access schemes can achieve high throughput through collision resolution. By using a multi-beam adaptive array (MBAA) at a base station or access point, it can concurrently communicate with multiple nodes/users and thus the network performance can be further enhanced. In this paper, we provide an efficient packet resolution method and analyze the throughput of cooperative wireless medium access scheme exploiting MBAAs.
