Wireless ad hoc networks are temporary formed, infrastructureless networks. Due to the
unstable channel conditions and network connectivity, their characteristics impose serious …

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 …

Nowadays, the cross-layer design approach, is the most relevant concept in mobile ad-hoc
networks which is adopted to solve several open issues. It aims to overcome MANET …

Cross layering has recently emerged as a new trend to cope with performance issues of
mobile ad hoc networks. The concept behind this technique is to exploit local information …

Traditional Wired network uses protocol architectures follow the principle of stack layered
implemented by ISO/OSI model. ISO/OSI model was developed to support all the …

Although research on mobile ad hoc networks has been ongoing for some time, there are
relatively few experiences with real ad hoc networks in laboratory testbeds, and users never …

In fourth generation (4G) wireless networks and beyond, it is strongly anticipated that mobile
ad hoc network will be used to economically extend their coverage and capacity. The mobile …

Recently, the research on mobile ad hoc networks is departing from the view of stand-alone
networks, to focus on hybrid self-organized network environments interconnected to the …

This paper explores possible mechanisms for efficient service discovery in wireless ad hoc
environments. Presented mechanisms are based on a cross-layer system design where …

In the highly dynamic and unpredictable environment of MANETs, cross-layer design is
receiving growing interest but lacks experimental validation tools. This paper proposes Xian …
