摘要：The paper presents a Riverbed simulator implementation with both routing and medium access control(MAC) protocols for mobile ad-hoc network wireless networks with multi-beam smart antennas (MBSAs).As one of the latest promising antenna techniques, MBSAs can achieve concurrent transmissions /receptions in multiple directions/beams. Thus it can significantly improve the network throughput.However, so far there is still no accurate network simulator that can measure the MBSA-basedrouting/MAC protocol performance. In this paper, we describe the simulation models with theimplementation of MBSA antenna model in physical layer, MAC layer, and routing layer protocols, all inRiverbed Modeler. We will compare two routing scenarios, i.e., multi-hop diamond routing scenario andmulti-path pipe routing. We will analyze the network performance for those two scenarios and illustrate theadvantages of using MBSAs in wireless networks.
