Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-configuring, dynamically adaptable networks of heterogeneous devices, some of which can assume the role of routers. Meanwhile, mobile computing is an increasingly pervasive technology worldwide, thus positioning MANETs as a very suitable technology for disaster scenarios. This article addresses the problem of guaranteeing a minimum operational infrastructure...
In MANETs, real-time multimedia applications make Quality of Service (QoS) support, a crucial issue regarding terms of increased throughput, reduced jitter and available bandwidth. The highly dynamic topology of the network, large variation of received signal strength at nodes and frequently varying link characteristics make QoS provisioning, a challenging task. Most of the existing routing protocols...
In this paper we propose a multi-agent based proactive service replication scheme for service oriented computing in mobile ad hoc environment. The proposed scheme ensures service availability and optimum resource usage in the network without compromising the QoS requirement of the service consumers. To achieve this we formalize the service-replication problem into distributed constraint optimization...
We present in this paper a multi-layer scheme for QoS Management in MANETs. Our proposal is to combine multiple communication protocols of different layers, to provide an adapted QoS to a different traffic classes. Protocols are modified to improve their awareness of the quality of service, so that new extensions with QoS support are developed. We model QoS service at routing layer, via a QoS extension...
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are spontaneously deployed over a geographically limited area without well-established infrastructure. In a distributed Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET), collaboration and cooperation is critical concern to managing trust. The networks work well only if the mobile nodes are trusty and behave cooperatively. Due to the openness in network topology and absence of a centralized...
In mobile ad hoc networks, the quality of service (QoS) guarantees are more difficult when compared with wired networks due to mobility of nodes. The difficulties in the provision of such guarantees have limited the utility of MANETs. The AOMDV (Ad hoc On Demand Multipath Distance Vector) has a better routing protocol for efficient data delivery. In this paper we improve the QoS performance of AOMDV...
Nodes in Mobile Adhoc NETwork (MANET) are suffered by limited bandwidth and frequent changes in the topology due to node mobility. The nodes participating in the network are powered by limited battery resources and the battery depletion can imply network failure. Although establishing correct and efficient routes is an important design issue in MANET, providing energy efficient routes is a more challenging...
In this work a new protocol for Voice over IP (VoIP) transmissions in wireless ad-hoc networks is proposed. Distributed architecture is necessary when dealing with dynamic environments, such as ports or battlefields, where creating infrastructures becomes expensive or impossible. Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are based on a peer-to-peer approach and each node participates in the organization of...
The desire of users for real time applications on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is rising. These types of applications require assurances in terms of throughput, delay and jitter. However, the guarantee of throughput in MANETs is challenging due to the contention between nodes, collisions and mobility. The nature of the shared channel in MANETs results in two types of contention which are the intra-flow...
In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), delays and bandwidth limitations of the wireless network system adversely affect the performance of the Voice over IP (VoIP). The calls setup time and the voice Quality of service (QoS) of VoIP calls depend on the routing protocol, the mobility model, and the number of hops between the call parties. Number of research efforts used to study the performance metrics...
In this paper, an evaluation of SIP signaling and voice QoS for SIP based VoIP using GSM voice codec system over IPv6 MANETs with Static, and Random mobility models. This evaluation study considered two types of reactive routing protocols, AODV and DSR. The study examined IPv4, IPv6, and Robust Header Compression (ROHC) as a compression/decompression system for IPv6 headers. The evaluation results...
Network Coding is a relatively new forwarding paradigm where intermediate nodes perform a store, code, and forward operation on incoming packets. Traditional forwarding approaches, which employed a store and forward operation, suffered from the limitations of the max-flow min-cut theorem wherein sources transmitting information over bottleneck links had to compete for access to these links. With Network...
Most of the Future Internet users will be wirelessly connected to IP clouds through different types of wireless networks. Thus, the number of applications and devices will be increased, and IPv6 insists to be applied. Voice over IP (VoIP) is one of the most popular Internet applications which provide real time voice communications between different parties and network systems. The Quality of Service...
The Mobile Ad-Hoc NETworks (MANETs) is an easy deployable, infrastructure-less networks. In IPv6 based MANETs the address configuration is done either with a stateless mechanisms or with the help of server like Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6). The DHCPv6 server initially resides on the node which acts as the Internet gateway (IGW) in the network and later on each of the configured...
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks have been deployed in a wide spectrum of domain ranging from military battlefields, natural disaster and manmade disaster management, conference, home networking, patient monitoring, remote landscape monitoring to name a few. MANET being an infrastructureless network with its inherent features like self-configuration, self-organizing and self-administration, it has been focus...
A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a set of mobile wireless devices, which communicate by forwarding packets for each other. These autonomous devices act as routers and as end nodes as well. The communication from one node to another can happen in many routes with different number of hops. Because of mobility these routes change dynamically. Recent application of MANETs have strong Quality of Service...
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have been an important research topic for the last years, playing a crucial role within the fast growing sector of mobile communications. At the same time, video applications over mobile devices are becoming widely used by nowadays mobile clients, where the quality in the transmission of such contents will determine the success of these applications in the future. Therefore,...
This paper addresses the problem of video multicast for heterogeneous destinations in mobile ad hoc networks. Multiple Description Coding (MDC) is used for video coding. MDC generates multiple independent bit-streams, where the multiple bit-streams are referred to as multiple descriptions (MD). Furthermore, MDC enables a useful reproduction of the video when any description is correctly received....
Scheduling algorithms are essential in guaranteeing Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning. Through QoS guarantee, a network application could obtain services which fulfil its specific requirements such as less delay, reduction in loss rate and higher throughput. However, due to dynamic nature of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) which results to frequently changing topology and link breaks, the design...
Without any pre-existing fixed network infrastructure with rapid configuration of wireless connections on-the-fly, network topology in MANETs keep on changing rapidly. Thus achieving data transmissions between wireless nodes in MANETs with improved QoS parameters become a challenging issue. To achieve this one has to concentrate on the routing protocol they choose. In our paper we proposed an algorithm...
