Abstract: The study of MANET remains attractive due to the eagerness to achieve better performance and scalability. MANETs are autonomous systems consisting of mobile nodes that are connected by wireless links. Such systems are self organized and allow communication in the network without any centralized body. Clustering has set as a necessary research field that increases system performance such as delay and throughput in MANETs in the presence of both mobility and a large number of mobile hosts. There are many protocols to improve throughput and reduce data query delay in MANETs. Few protocols have chosen the cooperative caching scheme, allowing multiple mobile nodes within a cluster to cache and share data in their local caches. Cross-layer design has not been fully utilized to improve the performance of cooperative caching. A cluster based cooperative caching scheme is used and a cross-layer design is used to further improve the overall performance of MANET. A basic energy model is proposed to minimize the energy consumption. The simulation results in the NS-2 simulation environment show clearly that the proposed system improves caching performance in terms of packet delivery ratio Consumed energy Throughput Normalized Routing load compared to the caching scheme without cooperative caching strategy.
