Cross Layer Communication has become an active theme in wireless ad-hoc network design. This paper deals with the communication between Network and Application layers using direct call methodology bypassing partially the transport layer. The focus here is to study overall performance by this communication on the wireless networks which can be done by setting the various parameters across Physical layer, MAC layer and Network layer. The improvement is observed in throughput, average end to end delay and longest time in queue. The simulation incorporating variable nodes, flexible data rates, variation in power and different queue sizes. Results are leading to the visible enhancement in the key performance of wireless ad-hoc network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
