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

XCP-Winf and RCP-Winf: Improving Explicit Wireless Congestion Control
TL;DR: This paper proposes new explicit flow control protocols for wireless mesh networks, based on XCP and RCP, which rely on the MAC layer information gathered by a new method to accurately estimate the available bandwidth and the path capacity over a wireless network path.
Journal ArticleDOI
Event detection and correlation for network environments
TL;DR: This paper presents the design framework and initial evaluation of an Information Sensing system that aims to enable awareness through an integrated event detection-correlation mechanism and offers a more lightweight solution than traditional active database-oriented event systems and it has better performance than log-post analysis processing.

Performance analysis of cross-layered multipath routing and MAC layer solutions for multi-hop ad hoc networks
Luciano Bononi,Marco Di Felice +1 more
TL;DR: A multipath routing scheme for mobile ad hoc networks which extends the Ad Hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector routing protocol, by introducing a novel load-balancing approach to concurrently distribute the traffic among the multiple paths.

Fair Scheduling with Multiple Gateways in Wireless Mesh Networks
Jason B. Ernst,Mieso K. Denko +1 more
TL;DR: The paper first discusses existing scheduling algorithms and classifies them based on the technique they use and their implementation frameworks, then detailed discussions of the proposed scheduling method are presented.
Enhancing the performance of ad hoc networking by lower layer design
TL;DR: A CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) based dual channel flat ad hoc network solution, incorporating cross-layering between all three lowest layers, is proposed and analyzed, and a novel network layer spreading code distribution method is presented.

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.
