Wireless routers equipped with smart antennas are capable of forming
beams to neighboring devices to transmit/receive multiple packets
simultaneously, hence achieving high network capacity. This however
is dependent on the link scheduling algorithm employed by these
routers. To this end, we describe a simple link activation algorithm
that tradeoffs path length to increase network capacity. We show via
analysis and simulation that the proposed algorithm improves network
capacity and lowers end-to-end delay despite a slight increase in
path length.
