Power and Congestion Control for M.A.N.E.T using Cross-Layer Design for Future Technology
Abstract: AbstractRouting in M.A.N.E.T is challenging due to its navigation feature. The main causes of link failure are mobility, interference, and congestion. Mobility means that each node is free to move within its transport range. Interference occurs due to collision and hidden node. A hidden node means two nodes outside the radio range of each, simultaneously try to transfer data to an intermediate node, which lies in the radio range of …
