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.

A Domain-based Reactive Routing Protocol for the Hybrid WMN

TL;DR: The proposed protocol is reactive, and designed to reorganize the hybrid WMN with several pseudo domains, and carry out domain-based route decision, and the average delay for the route decision was decreased by 43% compared to AODV that is the typical reactive protocol.

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.
