In this paper, we advocate that quality of service (QoS) routing protocols should use routes that are weaved and/or geographically pinned. This leads to a new paradigm for QoS routing called geographically pinned QoS routing (GPQR). Based on GPQR, we propose the embedded QoS routing (EQR) scheme for scalable routing with support for Differentiated Service and QoS guarantees in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and ad hoc cellular networks (ACENET). Due to the QoS routing disciplines proposed for EQR, the philosophy for selecting and provisioning QoS routes in EQR is fundamentally changed. Moreover, EQR combines several important advantages of localized routing and table-driven routing, including scalability and capability for wireless traffic engineering.
