    Abstract: The  cross-layer design approach is an efficient procedure used to solve several open issues of mobile and  wireless networks.  Cross-layer design is used to share the information between layers and promotes adaptability at various layers based on information exchanged. However, such a design process needs to be carefully coordinated to avoid unintentional and undesirable consequences. The basic idea of cross layer approach is to overcome performance  problems by allowing protocols belonging to different layers to cooperate and share network status information to maintain the Quality of  Service. This study presents a QoS  model based on cross layer concepts for Mobile and wireless environments.
