| Abstract(in English) | MIMA-MAC is the most attractive MAC protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks, which consist of nodes with multiple antennas. MIMA-MAC, however, uses on ly a half of antennas for data transmission regardless of the number of antennas or transmission demands of neighboring nodes. In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks which can always maximize the number of transmitted streams. In the proposed protocol, sine e a receiver can determine the maximum allowable number of streams after receiving up to two RTS packets, communication can be performed at the maximum receivable number of streams. In addition, RTS and CTS packets c onvey the number of the maximum transmitted streams and the maximum allo wable streams, respectively, which enables the proposed protocol to comm unicate at the maximum receivable number of streams even in antenna-hete rogeneous environments. Our simulation results show that the proposed pr otocol can enhance the network throughput, and decrease the amount of control data per data packet compared with MIMA-MAC. |
