Abstract
Head of Line (HOL) blocking and deaf node problem are the main challenges in the smart antenna system in wireless ad hoc networks. To resolve these difficulties, we propose a novel packet scheduling algorithm based on the Directional Network Allocation Vector (DNAV). In the new algorithm, we divide the surrounding space of a tagged node into interference regions and free regions, and then transmit packets selected in turn from the data queue if there is an appropriately free region. The proposed algorithm can eliminate the deaf node problem and resolve the HOL blocking efficiently. Higher throughput and lower network delay are obtained by adapting to the dynamic network topology than other methods. The simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm.
