Directional antennas shape transmission patterns to provide greater coverage distance and reduced coverage angle. When used in an ad-hoc network, this reduces interference among transmitting nodes and thereby increases throughput. A problem that has not been addressed is how to compute individual beam patterns that maximize some measure of global network performance. Historically, the focus has been...
