Proposed Mutual Exclusion MAC Protocol for MANET to Overcome Hidden and Exposed Terminal Problem

Abstract

Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is a kind of wireless transmission network could able to form the communication network without need of any basic infrastructure with all the communication nodes can able to move freely ad communication could be done b forwarding the received packet from one node to another nodes in order to reach until the desired destination node found. One of the major challenges in MANET is nodes can move freely from one region to another region where the possibilities route failure and collision among the node. Especially the of Hidden and exposed node problem is the major challenges in the MANET which could not able to define the permanent solution to resolve the issue. This research article focus on hidden and Exposed terminal problem in MAC layer and proposed the new protocol called the Mutual Exclusion MAC protocol (ME- MAC) which support to solve the Hidden and Exposed Terminal issue in MAC layer.
