Toumpis Multihop mobile wireless networks have drawn a lot of attention in recent years thanks to their wide applicability in civil and military environments. Since the existing IEEE distributed coordination function DCF standard does not provide satisfactory access to the wireless medium in multihop mobile networks we have designed a cross-layer protocol CroSs-layer noise aware power driven MAC SNAPdMac which consists of two parts. The protocol first concentrates on the flexible adjustment of the upper and lower bounds of the contention window CW to lower the number of collisions. In addition it uses a power control scheme triggered by the medium access control MAC layer to limit the waste of energy and also to decrease the number of collisions. Thanks to a noticeable energy conservation and decrease of the number of collisions it prolongs significantly the lifetime of the network and delays the death of the first node while increasing both the throughput performance and the sending bit rate throughput fairness among contending flows.
