Enhancing Wireless Network Strength

Wireless Networks have a limited bandwidth the uses that have been sharing this bandwidth have been increasing over the years, however the SDMA technique which allows the using of directional antennas to increase the ability of wireless networks by dividing all used by 2.

Which mean the wireless networks capacity can be increased while the delay is decreased by the means of directional antennas using OPNET. Simulation results shows that the performance of using directional antennas is the same as using omnidirectional antennas.

However directional antennas are enable to reduce multipath and co-channel interference by focusing the radiation in one direction for higher capacity, the goal of using directional antennas is to maximize the performance of wireless networks by maximizing the rang and Signal-to-Interference-Plus-Noise Ratio (SNR).

Directional antennas maximize radiated power because there focus there transmission power to one direction which improves the rang of the transmitter. Were the antenna canceling any interfering signal the come from another direction which means more power to the signal strength.
