QoS routing with mobility prediction in MANET

A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile hosts that form a temporary network without a centralized administration or wired infrastructure. Because of its dynamic topology, a MANET's routing protocol is different from other networks. Network control with Quality of Service (QoS) support is a key issue for multimedia applications in MANET. This paper proposes QoS Routing with Mobility Prediction (QRMP) protocol. This protocol selects the most stable path based on mobility prediction and QoS requirements on bandwidth and delay. The impact of our improvements is evaluated through simulations. The protocol is expected to efficiently support real-time multimedia traffic with different QoS requirements.
