Cross layer awareness optimization between physical layer and MAC layer of wireless infrastructure based network using bio inspired algorithm

摘要

Cross Layer Awareness Optimization removes such boundaries allowing flow of information or communication between layers by allowing access among the layer for information exchange. The strict boundaries create dependency problem for the concerned layer as well as other layers. The prime question arises whether this attitude can be applied to wireless infrastructure based network to map different layer (PHY and MAC layer) of protocol stack in cross layer framework. Now the optimization algorithm becomes the prime feature for optimizing among the Physical (PHY) and MAC layer. In this work, cross layer awareness is optimized at physical (PHY) layer for wireless infrastructure based network of smart antennas or adaptive antennas consisting of uniform linear array (ULA) using Genetic Algorithm for optimizing or minimizing the cost function.
