Cross-layer design for optimal throughput of wireless networks

Abstract

Cross-layer is becoming a studying area for wireless communications. In this paper, we focus on the cross layer design of PHY and MAC layers. By comparing previous research in such area, we find that there is a strong need to combine multiple key parameters in the multimedia wireless sensor networks through cross-layer schemes. In this paper, we propose a new Choquet fuzzy measure method to achieve optimal transmission throughput by selecting best transmitters and receivers and modulation types, under various channel states. Simulation results show the proposed scheme will support various multimedia wireless transmission applications.
