Recently, directional sensor networks consist of a large number of directional sensors have attracted a lot of attention duo to their wide range of applications in different fields of target detecting, classification, and environmental detection.
Ketema Adere, Rammurthy proposed the directional antenna based MAC protocol that used with Sensor-MAC Protocol to increase the performance of the output of wireless sensor network. The directional antenna focusses energy in a particular direction, so that unfair channel allocation and wastage of channels between each node can be avoided.
