Abstract
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.

Factorial Design Analysis for Quality of Video on MANET

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the main and interactive effects of seven factors on a response metric (i.e., mean opinion score (MOS) calculated by PSNR with Evalvid package) and develop a first-order linear regression model between the influential factors and the performance metric.

Receiver based capacity enhancement with cross-layer design approach for IEEE 802.11 ad-hoc networks

S. Ket, +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the enhancement of the capacity of Ad-hoc network is very close to analytical values for smaller network size and it is about 2.5 times more than Auto-Rate Fallback (ARF) [8], in spite of fading and mobility effects.

Enhance the Quality of Service in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks by Using Fuzzy Based NTT–DYMO

TL;DR: Fuzzy concept is used by taking network size and mobility is inputs and NTT as output and FBNTT DYMO radically improves the QoS as compared with defacto NTT–DYMO.

Does the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol work well in multihop wireless ad hoc networks

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

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.
