A Survey on Cross Layer Design based Routing Protocols in Manets

Mobile AdHoc Network which is abbreviated as MANET is usually outlined as a system or network that has several free or autonomous nodes, typically composed of mobile devices or alternative mobile items, which will prepare themselves in varied ways in which and operate while not strict top-down network administration. Rising attention and permit interested in technology of wireless networking is emphasizing novel experiments in developing optimized communication protocols. Conventionally, architecture of protocols has severe layering principles, which assures ability, rapid organizing, and cost-effective applications. Still, absence of direction among layers bounds the act of such architectures due to the precise experiments postured by communication links of wireless environment. Cross layer method is developed to overcome such drawbacks. The main idea of cross layer method is to allow coordination, interaction among different layers. This paper presents different cross layer plan models, different cross layer based steering conventions created by different researchers in MANETs, and different issues which are under dynamic research.
