MANETs are used to economically extend coverage & capacity of existing GSM,UMTS & Wi-Fi networks.Performance of MANET protocol AODV is studied by using cross -layer interaction between different layers e.g. among physical,MAC & network layer using Received Signal Strength as cross layer interaction parameter.Here we study different algorithms such as DSTC(Distributed Space Time Coding) and PA-PSO(Power Allocation-Part icle Swarm Optimisation).We get improvised throughput and effective capacity maximisation in the output.
