Abstract
Ad hoc networks are wireless, mobile networks that do not have neither fixed infrastructure nor centralized administration. The physical phenomena inherent in wireless medium and especially in wave propagation deteriorate data transmissions quality causing therefore a diminishing of ad hoc networks performance.On the other hand, particular kind of antennas called adaptive array antennas could enable to combat those phenomena. This thesis proposes to study the ad hoc networks routing protocols by enhancing wireless physical layer with adaptive array antennas.
