Cross layer fair scheduling for MANET with 802.11 CDMA channels

CDMA is most widely used standard for multiuser system in wireless adhoc network. CDMA standards presents set of protocols for power control, BER control and multi user detection system in adhoc network. Therefore behevior of MANET depends upon the modeling of cdma based MAC layer, which also attributes to the performance of the network. In this paper we present a means of improving the performance of the network by adopting a cross layer based fair scheduling algorithm. We consider a losy fading channel and show that by appropriate scheduling technique, latency and losses and be significantly reduced.
