A QoS aware route selection mechanism using Analytic Hierarchy Process for Mobile Ad Hoc Network

To truly realize potential of MANET, multimedia services must be provisioned with a minimum level of QoS. To meet the QoS requirement of such services, many attributes need to be considered. To keep the routing process lightweight, standard QoS aware routing protocol in MANET works with one or two such parameters. In this paper, we have proposed an on-demand source routing protocol for MANET that works with six important QoS attributes by varying priority for different category of traffic flow. We have reflected this variation by incorporating Analytic Hierarchy Process in the proposal.
