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

Dynamic selection of communication links in a mixed network
TL;DR: In this paper, a link selection component on the first station is operative to estimate the capacities of the various links, and to select one of the links for transmitting a bitstream, and also dynamically re-select a link for continuing an on-going transmission of a given bitstream.

Cross-Layer Optimization Architecture for WiMAX Systems
TL;DR: A cross-layer optimizer which acts as an interface between MAC and PHY layers is proposed which gathers and optimized the parameters from both layers to achieve optimum performance gain.

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.
