Directional communications<br />
– Consume smaller bandwidth volumes, thus<br />
enabling increased spatial reuse of spectrum<br />
resulting in increased network capacity<br />

QoS requires predictable channel access<br />
But existing contention-based access schemes<br />
rely upon omni-directional communications<br />
and random access...<br />
