Performance of Ad Hoc Networks using Omni-Directional Antennas with Interference Alignment

Abstract

The performance of Wireless ad hoc networks (WANET) using Omni-directional antenna node is improved by lightening the negative impact of interference. This article uses the concept of interference alignment to subsidise the interference effect and to increase the performance of networks nodes. The interference alignment produces synchronization among numerous transmitters with the common interference, so that it aligns at the receivers using easy interference cancellation techniques. The performance metrics throughput, packet loss and delay are improved by using the interference alignment in WANET with nodes using Omni - directional antenna.
