Abstract

Different cross layer design for mobile adhoc network focuses on different optimization purpose, different Quality of Service (QoS) metric and the functions like delay, priority handling, security, etc. Existing cross layer designs provide individual solution for congestion control, fault tolerance, power conservation, energy minimization and flow control and the major drawback is of high cost and overhead. In this paper, we propose to design multiple cross layer design based architecture to provide a combined solution for link failure management, power conservation, congestion control and admission control. By simulation results, we show that the average end to end delay, average energy consumption and the packet loss are considerably reduced with the increase in high throughput and good delivery ratio.
