Abstract :
This paper we presented the design objectives and technical challenges for effective MAC protocols in MANET. Complex environments in ad hoc networks require a joint control of physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers resources in order to optimize performance. We discuss the benefits of cross-layer frame and give a multichannel MAC approach.
