Spiral-Multi-Path QoS Routing in a Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Network

摘要

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is characterized by multi-hop wireless links in the absence of any cellular infrastructure as well as by frequent host mobility. This paper proposes a SMPQ: Spiral-Multi-Path QoS routing protocol in a MANET, while the MAC sub-layer adopts the CDMA-over-TDMA channel model. This work investigates the bandwidth reservation problem of on-demand QoS routing in a wireless mobile ad-hoc network. The proposed approach increases the ability of a route to identify a robust path, namely a spiral-multi-path, from source host to destination host, in a MANET to satisfy certain bandwidth requirements. Two important contributions of the proposed spiral-multi-path are: (1) the spiral-multi-path strengthens route-robustness and route-stability properties and (2) the spiral-multi-path increases the success rate of finding the QoS route. Performance analysis results demonstrate that our SMPQ protocol outperforms other protocols.
