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.read more

Energy- and Delay-Efficient Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
TL;DR: A new module was added to MChannel, enabling unicast routing based on two alternative metrics, namely end-to-end delay and overall network lifetime, which proves that network lifetime and average end- to- end delay improve, compared to the original OLSR protocol implementation included in the mentioned middleware.

Using statistical design of experiments for analyzing mobile ad hoc networks
Michael W. Totaro,Dmitri Perkins +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown how a systematic statistical design of experiments (DOE) strategy can be used to analyze network system and protocol performance, leading to more objective conclusions valid over a wide range of network conditions and environments.

Reflective and Refractive Variables: A Model for Effective and Maintainable Adaptive-and-Dependable Software
Vincenzo De Florio,Chris Blondia +1 more
TL;DR: PATS as discussed by the authors is a tool for the expression of tasks such as cross-layer optimization strategies or sensors-related applications based on reflective and refractive variables, which can be used to express complex operations in the application layer of any programming language, e.g. plain old C.
MobileMAN: Design, Integration, and Experimentation of Cross-Layer Mobile Multihop Ad Hoc Networks
TL;DR: By implementing a full prototype of the cross-layer architecture and related protocols, developed in the MobileMAN project, it is shown that it significantly outperforms a legacy TCP/IP layered architecture.

Does the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol work well in multihop wireless ad hoc networks
Shugong Xu,Tarek Saadawi +1 more
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
Vikas Kawadia,P. R. Kumar +1 more
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.
