Panel – Directional Mesh Networking |
Open |
|
Panel Abstract: Ad-hoc, directional mesh networking has long been an area of research due to the LPI/LPD/AJ nature of directional systems, as well as the increased range offered by these systems. Recent advances in electronically scanned array (ESA) technology have made realization of these systems possible. This panel will discuss the emerging directional networks and how they are addressing the trades between scalability, throughput, network connectivity, SWAP-C, as well as addressing uniquely directional problems such as neighbor discovery, tracking, and beam management.
