Dynamic power efficient QoS routing algorithm for multimedia services over mobile ad hoc networks

Abstract

In this work, we present a power efficient QoS routing algorithm for multimedia services over mobile ad hoc networks. Generally, multimedia services need various quality of service over the network according to their characteristics and applications but it is not easy to guarantee quality of service over mobile ad hoc networks since the resources are very limited and time-varying. Furthermore only a limited power is available at mobile nodes, which makes the problem more challenging. Now, we propose an effective routing algorithm over mobile ad hoc networks that provide the stable end-to-end quality of service with the minimum total transmission power consumption. © 2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
