On control aspects of quality of service in mobile ad hoc networks

Abstract

Provisioning Quality of Service (QoS) in a MANET is a prominent research area due to the ongoing increasing range of MANET applications. The need to improve QoS in these networks has been vital due to the traits which include dynamically changeable network topology, be short of facts about state, unavailability of a primary controller, and insufficient availability of resources. To quantitatively evaluate QoS in a MANET several associated metrics are preferred. This paper explores QOS aspects and metrics, after which mentioned the scope and relevance of manipulated aspects in view of the divisible and non-divisible traffics in the network for QoS.
