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

Protocol design for adaptive video transmission over MANET
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an efficient video data transmission protocol using the cross-layer approach in ad hoc networks, where a source node selects an optimal path using multilayer information such as node's residual energy, channel condition and hop counts to increase path life time and throughput.
Path Lifetimes and Fair Medium Access in Wireless Multihop Networks
TL;DR: A novel extension based on the IEEE WLAN 802.11 protocol guarantees fair medium access among participating nodes and the central access point exchange information about the optimal access rates to achieve almost complete fairness in flat as well as in urban environments.

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.
