Mobile Ad – hoc networks (MANET) are
becoming increasingly popular in wireless technology,
especially for providing services in disaster area. Mobile
users are looking forward to new technologies that allow
them to communicate anytime, anywhere, and using any
communication device. Mobile ad – hoc networks suffer
from several performance limitations, especially related to
excessive burden deriving from the layering approach for the
TCP / IP protocol stack design. In fact, TCP / IP protocol
stack originally designed for wired networks and it is not
suitable for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks. In this
paper, it focuses on cross layer network design which is
especially for wireless and mobile ad hoc networks. The
main objective is to how cross layer differ from layered
design, cross layer design approaches, challenges of cross
layer design and implementation of cross layer design based
MANET. And also this article brief the readers an overview
of cross layer concept while discussing different cross layer
proposals given by researchers.

Cross Layer Design, MANET, Routing Protocol,
Wireless Communication
In this paper first discuss about OSI Model Network
architecture and its drawbacks for wireless mobile ad hoc
networks. And it is decided that cross layer network
design is suitable for wireless mobile ad hoc networks. A
survey has done against various cross layer design
proposals, its performance of the protocol stack and
enhancement methodology. These surveys gives us the
need for paradigm change from strictly layered protocol
stacks to cross – layer design is clear from the benefits
from cross layer design.
Future work may replace entire layered architecture
completely. But it is not possible due to compatibility
issue. Hence revolutionary approach is applicable. By
leaving redundant part of layered structure and protocol
will prove increase in network performance like
optimization, efficient power utilization, delay in
MANET.
