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

A survey on FANET routing from a cross-layer design perspective
Georgios Amponis,Thomas Lagkas,Panagiotis Sarigiannidis,Vasileios Vitsas,Panagiotis Fouliras,Shaohua Wan +5 more
TL;DR: This survey intends to examine existing protocols of both legacy and cross-layer architectures in terms of their potential in accommodating routing in FANET deployments, with special attention given to multi-altitude (3D) deployments, where a substantially greater amount of processing and packet route complexity is observed, and agreater amount of node location precision is required.

Moving routing protocols to the user space in MANET middleware
TL;DR: This paper has implemented the unicast MANET OLSR protocol in Java and created a novel overlay multicast protocol (OMOLSR) and integrated both routing protocols as software components in a well-known group communication toolkit (JGroups).

TinyXXL: Language and Runtime Support for Cross-Layer Interactions
Andreas Lachenmann,Pedro José Marrón,Daniel Minder,Matthias Gauger,Olga Saukh,Kurt Rothermel +5 more
TL;DR: TinyXXL is presented that provides programming abstractions for data exchange, a form of cross-layer interaction with a large potential for optimizations that decouples components providing and using data and allows for automatic optimizations of applications composed of reusable components.

A Mathematical Model for Cross Layer Protocol Optimizing Performance of Software-Defined Radios in Tactical Networks
TL;DR: A mathematical model for a cross-layer design is presented, which optimizes trade-offs among different configurations of the SDRs to achieve maximum performance in terms of energy efficiency, reliable packet delivery at an appropriate data rate and within affordable latency bounds in multi-hop tactical networks.

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.
