Abstract(in English) On directional media access protocols (MACs) using the smart antennas for wireless ad hoc networks, we can expect the SDMA (Space Division Multiple Access) performance, extension of communication distance and higher total throughput compared with using the omni antennas at same size of networks. For the real applications in the actual environment, we have been developed for smaller size of antenna and lower power consumption of wireless modules. And, we have designed the compact program of directional media access protocols to be installed for desired performance of the application use, too. The program performs not on OS (Operational System) but on μ-CPU, which controls the schedules for those frequent events on the wireless communications. To operate the routing performance adequately on MAC layer, we have designed the program that shares the information with node direction and routing table at the same time on broadcasting with directional beams, and set the backoff time control due to RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) referred to hop counts for the multihop communications.
