| dc.description.abstract | A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that form a wireless network without the use of a fixed infrastructure or centralized administration, and every node acts as a host as well as a router. The topology of an ad hoc network changes frequently and unpredictably. The mobile nature and dynamic topology of MANETs make it very difficult to provide Quality-of-Service (QoS) assurance in such networks. Considering the limited bandwidth and battery power, finding routes that satisfy the bandwidth constraint of applications is a significant challenge. Ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing (AODV) is an on-demand routing protocol that only provides best-effort routes. QS-AODV is proposed in this thesis. It is based on AODV and creates routes according to the QoS requirements of the applications. It is shown that QS-AODV provides performance comparable to AODV under light traffic. In heavy traffic, QS-AODV provides higher packet delivery ratios and lower routing overheads, at a cost of slightly longer end-to-end delays as the routes in QS-AODV are not always the shortest. The effects of network size and mobility on the performance of QSAODV are shown. | en_US |
