Abstract
Directional transmission in a mobile ad-hoc network includes receiving position data for peer nodes in the network. When transmitting a data packet to a peer node, the position of the peer node is determined with reference to a position database. An electronically steerable antenna is focused to transmit to the position and the packet is transmitted. The electronically steerable antenna is then placed in an omnidirectional mode to receive packet transmissions.
