Quality of Service (QoS) Control in Wireless Mobile Ad-hocNetworks (MANETs) – A State-of-the-Art Perspective

摘要

This paper examines state-of-the-art of Quality of Service (QoS) control for wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Networks(MANETs) by first defining prominent QoS metrics, such as throughput, delay, packet delivery rate and jitter, withrelevant standardization development. Recent works by various researchers, gleans how this research relates incontext to other published works. Design factors, such as node speed, grid size, etc., influencing QoS, will beexamined based on realistic models, by conducting follow-on simulations with statistical analysis. Then, a QoSoptimization problem will be solved using evolutionary computation techniques. Improvements for data link andnetwork layer protocols optimizing QoS are expected.
