A study on quality-of-service routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks

Abstract

Wireless networks like mobile ad hoc network provides communication not including the help of any base station. In other words, it is an infrastructure-less networks. The nonexistence of any base station makes complex routing in comparison to the cellular networks. Since the last few decades research work is going to improve Quality-of-Service (QoS) in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET), to achieve high QoS in MANET is a difficult task and is an open challenge to all. This paper will provide a basic idea about QoS in MANET, QoS issues, various QoS parameters, and QoS frameworks.
