Optimizing Cross-Layer Design for Multi-Hop Wireless Networks

Abstract

Go-layer design (CLD) provides a promising approach for optimizing overall performance in multi-hop wi-fi networks. CLD enables coherent optimization of various layers of protocol stacks (e.g. MAC, community, delivery, and alertness) via data trade between layers. with the aid of leveraging a multi-layer angle for community optimization, CLD can achieve significant overall performance development in phrases of throughput, put off, and energy efficiency in comparison to conventional tactics. The CLD method enables closely coupled model thru coordination of MAC, network, delivery, and application layers. the combination of various layers permits the optimization of stop-to-stop overall performance by leveraging various move-layer interactions for adapting to varying channel situations. moreover, CLD can permit the incorporation of topology awareness for optimization of network overall performance. To gain a success CLD optimization, various elements, which includes network modeling, channel estimation, scheduling, congestion manage, and routing, ought to be taken into consideration. To enable CLD optimization, new protocols need to be proposed and new wireless architectures must be designed. moreover, most appropriate CLD techniques should be developed such that the design criteria of numerous layers may be efficiently taken into consideration. moreover, exclusive optimization algorithms need to be studied to optimize the CLD manner.
