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.

Media - Oriented Rate Selection Algorithm for IEEE 802.11 WLANs

TL;DR: This paper proposes a simple and efficient cross-layer mechanism for dynamically selecting the transmission mode that considers both the channel conditions and characteristics of the media and provides an evaluation of this mechanism for MANETs using simulations with NS-2 and examines the video quality obtained with a fine-grain scalable video encoder based on a motion-compensated spatio temporal wavelet transform.

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.
