Abstract
Mobile ad hoc network researchers face the challenge of achieving full functionality with good performance while linking the new technology to the rest of the Internet. A strict layered design is not flexible enough to cope with the dynamics of manet environments, however, and will prevent performance optimizations. The MobileMan cross-layer architecture offers an alternative to the pure layered approach that promotes stricter local interaction among protocols in a manet node.

CrossTalk: a data dissemination-based crosslayer architecture for mobile ad-hoc networks

Rolf Winter
TL;DR: This paper introduces CrossTalk, a cross-layer architecture based on data dissemination that enables each node in an ad-hoc network to evaluate its own status locally against that of the network for decision processes such as routing.

Does the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol work well in multihop wireless ad hoc networks

TL;DR: It is concluded that the current version of this wireless LAN protocol does not function well in multihop ad hoc networks, and it is doubt whether the WaveLAN-based system is workable as a mobile ad hoc testbed.

A cautionary perspective on cross-layer design

TL;DR: It is argued that it behooves to exercise caution while engaging in cross-layer design, because unbridled cross- layer design can lead to spaghetti design, which can stifle further innovation and be difficult to upkeep.
