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.

Interference-aware IEEE 802.16 WiMax mesh networks

TL;DR: This work adopts here an interference-aware cross-layer design to increase the throughput of the wireless mesh network and creates a tree-based routing framework, which along with scheduling is interference aware and results in a much higher spectral efficiency.

Multihop Ad Hoc Networking: The Reality

TL;DR: It is shown that, although pure general-purpose MANET (mobile ad hoc networks) does not yet exist in the real world, the multihop ad hoc networking paradigm was successfully applied in several classes of networks that are penetrating the mass market.

Reliability and Energy-Efficiency inIEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee Sensor Networks:An Adaptive and Cross-Layer Approach

TL;DR: This paper proposes an adaptive and cross-layer framework for reliable and energy-efficient data collection in WSNs based on the IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee standards, and proposes a low-complexity distributed algorithm, called ADaptive Access Parameters Tuning (ADAPT), that can effectively meet the application-specific reliability under a wide range of operating conditions.
