There have been many proposals for media access control protocols in packet radio networks (PRN) in which transmission efficiency is improved by using a directional antenna. This paper assumes that the topology of the PRN and the data to be transmitted among the stations are specified, and discusses the essential effectiveness of using the directional antenna, as independent of the protocol, using the shortest time needed to complete all data transmissions as a measure. It is shown that the number of directional antennas in each station is sufficient if it is equal to the number of neighboring stations, and that the effectiveness of the directional antenna is more pronounced when the PRN has a high density. The effectiveness when the communication buffer used to store the data to be sent or received is combined with the directional antenna is also discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
