As the current medium access control protocols with Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) links only bear point to point service, broadcast scheduling algorithm in ad hoc networks with MIMO links is proposed. The key to the proposed broadcast scheduling algorithm is the time slot scheduling algorithm which guarantees collision-free transmissions for every node and the mini- mum frame length. The proposed algorithm increases the simultaneous transmissions of MIMO links efficiently. Due to the interference null capacity of MIMO links, the interference node set of each node can decrease from two-hop neighbors to one-hop neighbors possibly. Simulation results show that our algorithm can greatly improve network capacity and decrease average packet delay.

Simulation results show that our algorithm can substantially improve network capacity and decrease average packet delay.
