Cross-layer design is important in wireless ad hoc
network and the power control methods. Power control is the
intelligent selection of transmit power in a communication to
achieve the better performance within the system. Cross-layer
is used to sharing the information between the layers. CLD
using LOADPOWER (LOADPOW) control protocol is reduce
the overall end-end delay in transmission power. So many
power control schemes are dealt in network layer but this
work Power control protocol was done in MAC layer and it
plays a vital role. A MAC approach to power control only does
a local optimization whereas network layer is capable of a
global optimization. Simulation was done in NS-2 simulator
with the performance metrics as throughput, and energy
consumption and end-end delay. The key concept is to improve
the throughput, saves energy by sending all the packets with
optimal transmit power according to the network load,
transmission power was given, when the network load is low,
higher transmission power gives lower end-end delay and viceversa.
