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.

Real multiroute system (RMS) for mobile ad hoc networks: a cross layer approach

TL;DR: Analysis and simulation results show that adjusting the route table state in RMS process can reduce packet losses and improve the performance systems.

Stack Architectures and Protocols for Emerging Wireless Networks

TL;DR: The proposed Universal Protocol Stack (UPS), which provides support for the execution of multiple protocols within a layer simultaneously in a modular way through packet-switching, information-sharing, and memory management, and an approach to support multiple radio interfaces by abstracting all the available interfaces using a single virtual interface within the UPS framework are developed.

Metamodeling of cross-layer cooperative scheduling in wireless local area networks

TL;DR: A metamodel is proposed, used more frequently in other disciplines such as operations research, in order to approximate the complete response surface by fitting regression analysis over a large amount of simulation results and allows to establish and quantify the cross-layer effects through specific interaction items and can serve for the purpose of cross- layer optimization.

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.
