CONNECTIVITY OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS USING DIRECTIONAL ANTENNAE By Oscar Morales Ponce Winter 2011 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 
Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Computer Science School of Computer Science Carleton University Supervisor: Dr. Evangelos Kranakis ABSTRACT In this thesis, we study fundamental issues on sensor networks employing directional antennae. The main question that motivates this work is how omnidirectional antennae can be replaced with directional antennae in such a way that the connectivity is maintained while the angle and range are minimum. This leads to the natural problem of finding the minimum radius to achieve connectivity for a given angle when each sensor has k
