In this thesis, we proposed algorithms to improve the performance of wireless ad hoc networks by cross-layer design approach. Firstly, we proposed a utility-based joint power and rate adaptive algorithm (UPRA) for wireless ad hoc networks, which can be incorporated with CSMA/CA based MAC protocols....
