This work presents a proposal of a wireless adaptive network which chooses its routes based on a cross-layer metric concept. This proposal was conducted by means of computer simulations and more specifically, using the Network Simulator - NS software. Procedures concerning the addiction and establishment of new routes were handled by the well known routing protocol, Optimized Link State Routing protocol - OLSR. The IEEE 802.11g standard was selected to perform all data transmissions. Interactions between the network layers were modified, so the information regarding the signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR) detected at the physical layer, is delivered directly at the network layer. When a wireless node receives a routing packet from its neighbor, it calculates the SINR value which represents the link state between these two nodes. It is assumed that each wireless node previously knows the transmission rate, which will ensure the highest throughput regarding the state of link. Once a node gathers sufficient information about the link state of each hop across an end-to-end path, the network layer shall be able to calculate the route which offers the highest throughput. And to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this proposal, simulation results were compared to a non-adaptive network model, using the traditional version of the OLSR protocol described in the RFC3626. Also the performance of this proposal was evaluated, combined with already known and established fading reduction techniques.
