“…This hierarchical structure is modeled in such a manner that each layer isolates the layer above it from the rest of the protocol stack. The benefit of this is that, as technology advances the lower layers can be replaced, without affecting the upper layers as long as the interface between layers remains constant [15] [16]. The hierarchy uses encapsulation to provide the abstraction of protocol and services [15].…”

Mobile adhoc networks (MANETS) are infrastructureless networks which uses radio signals, to establish communication among mobile nodes. MANET media is open shared media, multiple mobile nodes may access the medium at the same time, which causes various MAC problems. This paper provides a review of various MAC problems being faced by MANETS and various MAC protocols which try to resolve these issues.

“…The most common protocol stack found in wireless communications is composed of (lowest to highest) the physical layer, the data link layer, the network layer, the transport layer, and the application layer. The protocol stack of a WSN can be presented as [70]. The problems addressed in this layer are relevant but not the focus of the proposed research.…”

Recent advancements in wireless communications and sensor technologies have enabled the development of low-cost sensor networks for diverse applications, such as intelligent battlefields, earthquake response systems, military objects tracking, reconnaissance surveillance, hazardous environment exploration monitoring, industry monitoring, and smart hospitals, etc. Different applications have their own characteristics and different requirements for the wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A set of performance metrics, including energy-efficiency, self-organization ability, scalability, robustness, latency, throughput, fairness, etc., are not only used to measure the performance of protocols, but also the applicability of a wireless sensor network to a certain application. Adaptability and application-awareness of a wireless sensor network directly determines the applicability of a wireless sensor network. Due to the diversity
