ADAPTIVE BANDWIDTH RESERVATION TECHNIQUE USING CROSS-LAYER APPROACH FOR MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORKS

摘要

In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), inefficient resource allocation causes heavy losses to the service providers and results in inadequate user proficiency. For improving and automating the quality of service of MANETs, efficient resource allocation techniques are required. Cross platform is one other requirement in future generation of network. In this paper, we propose a Adaptive Bandwidth Reservation technique using Cross-layer Approach for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks. This approach adaptively estimates the bandwidth depending on the type of MAC protocol. It involves a Bandwidth Estimation Agent (BEA) that resides in each node and interacts with MAC and routing layers to perform the following activities. In resource reservation technique, the service provider is acting in two different ways for CSMA and TDMA modulation. Simulation results show that the proposed technique improves the throughput and received bandwidth.
