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

Cross-Layer Optimizations in Multi-Hop Ad Hoc Networks
TL;DR: This thesis proposes cross-layer solutions involving joint design of MAC, clustering and routing protocols in MANETs and designs and analyzes a distributed and adaptive MAC protocol, named Differentiated Distributed Coordination Function (DDCF), whose focus is to implement adaptive access differentiation based on the node roles.

Routing with congestion control using cross-layer design in wireless mesh network
Wen Song,Xuming Fang +1 more
TL;DR: A novel routing protocol called Least Congestion QoS-aware Routing (LCQSR) using cross-layer design approach is proposed to achieve a good trade-off between QoS aware and network performance based on DSR and results show that the protocol can improve the performance of network congestion effectively in terms of delay, packet delivery ratio and throughput.

Management through cross-layer design in mobile tactical networks
David Kidston,Li Li +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes a cross-layer architecture that maintains a clean horizontal interface between layers to maintain interoperability while also allowing layers to share their operational state through a vertical publish-subscribe interface.

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.
