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.

Energy Aware Congestion Adaptive Reactive Routing Protocol with Link Quality Monitoring

J.K. Singh, +1 more
TL;DR: A cross-layer based feedback among different layers, namely physical, MAC and network to pass the link information from physical to network layer to select the optimal path between source and destination is proposed.

Route selection for capacity maximization in multi-rate TDMA-based wireless ad hoc networks

TL;DR: This study forms the route selection problem by considering a synchronized multi-rate TDMA access scheme, and proposes a new Cumulated Available Resources and Topology Aware (CARTA) routing heuristic, which selects routes bypassing heavily loaded and highly interfered network regions.

On the cost of global knowledge in ad-hoc networks

TL;DR: This paper analyzes the cost involved to locally establish such global knowledge in terms of memory and communication overhead without generating periodic control messages or flooding the network.

Routing metrics for multi-hop wireless mesh networks

TL;DR: This study explores the drawbacks of current routing metrics and proposes two improved strategies, improved Expected Time Transmission (iETT) and improved Bottleneck Aware Transmission Delay (iBATD), respectively, to address the challenges for single-radio and multi-radio wireless mesh networks.

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.
