A QoS architecture using cross-layer design is proposed, which extends from the application layer to the MAC layer and specifies each layer’s features and the information thatshould be shared among the layers. A performance comparison between the traditional layered design used in MANETs and the proposed QoS cross-layer design in terms of network performance has been made. These results show that using a QoS cross-lay
