We study the throughput capacity of hybrid wireless networks with a directional antenna. The hybrid wireless network consists of n randomly distributed nodes equipped with a directional antenna, and m regularly placed base stations connected by optical links. We investigate the ad hoc mode throughput capacity when each node is equipped with a directional antenna under an L-maximum-hop resource allocation. That is, a source node transmits to its destination only with the help of normal nodes within L hops. Otherwise, the transmission will be carried out in the infrastructure mode, i.e., with the help of base stations. We find that the throughput capacity of a hybrid wireless network greatly depends on the maximum hop L, the number of base stations m, and the beamwidth of directional antenna θ. Assuming the total bandwidth W bits/sec of the network is split into three parts, i.e., W<sub>1</sub> for ad hoc mode, W<sub>2</sub> for uplink in the infrastructure mode, and W<sub>3</sub> for downlink in the infrastructure mode. We show that the throughput capacity of the hybrid directional wireless network is Θ(nW<sub>1</sub>/θ<sup>2</sup> L log n) + Θ(mW<sub>2</sub>), if L = Ω(n<sup>1/3</sup>/θ<sup>4/3</sup> log<sup>2/3</sup> n); and Θ((θ<sup>2</sup>L<sup>2</sup> log<sup>2/3</sup> n); and + Θ(mW<sub>2</sub>), if L = o(n<sup>1/3</sup>/θ<sup>4/3</sup> log<sup>2/3</sup> n), respectively. Finally, we analyze the impact of L, m and θ on the throughput capacity of the hybrid networks.
