Cross-layer framework for post-disaster communications

Cross-layer design methodology is a rapidly growing research area to improve wireless network performance, where the information is exchanged between different protocol layers dynamically. In this paper we propose a cross-layer framework for post-disaster communications. The framework adapts to network dynamics and select appropriate protocol for each layer. An Adaptive Protocol Selector (APS) module is also designed to achieve the cross-layer functionality.
