Tutorials

Along with Mineo Takai and Nitin Vaidya, I presented a tutorial at the ACM MobiHoc 2003 Conference, entitled "Directional Antenna Systems in Ad Hoc Networks". My parts of the tutorial are here: Part 1 of the tutorial, and Part 5 of the tutorial. Part 2 and 4 were given by Mineo Takai and part 3 was given by Nitin Vaidya. You can access them by going to their websites.
