A Review of Various Cross-Layer Frameworks for Ad Hoc Network

In this paper, it has been discussed and focused over the various frameworks on ad hoc networks. Since, it is not easy to follow all the aspects and issues over ad hoc networks followed by cross layer designing approaches. This paper discussed various frameworks supported by real-time multimedia, multi objective performance, multi-path transmission for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication, privacy enhancement in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems, MobileMan architecture for ad hoc wireless networks, congestion control, scalable video transmission, scheduling of video streaming over Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) and security and quality of service (QoS) co-design based cross layer frameworks or architectures.
