A dynamic priority based scheduling scheme for multimedia streaming over MANETs to improve QOS

Abstract

In MANETs, delay and loss of packets need to be reduced in order to provide a good quality of multimedia data transmission over MANETs. To achieve this, we propose a Priority Based Mapping Method, which provides priority in the order of I (intra coded), P (predictive coded) and B (bidirectional predictive coded) frame packets. In addition, our approach handles the expiry time of the packets as well as damaged acknowledgement of the packets/frames. We validate our approach through simulations.
