Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) wireless communication is a promising spread-spectrum technology with features of low cost, low power and high time resolution has potentially important applications in wireless ad hoc networks. This paper presents a novel quality of service (QoS) routing scheme for wireless multimedia ad hoc networks. Besides applying neighbor detection method in route discovery procedure, the...
For ad-hoc home networks without central coordinator, IEEE 802.11 systems merely support service differentiation. In many usage scenarios of a typical home network with applications requiring a strict quality of service (QoS), this MAC functionality is not sufficient. In order to counteract this problem, we developed in previous works a modified MAC scheme based on the IEEE 802.11 enhanced distributed...
Mobile ad hoc networks are self organizing multi-hop wireless networks with no fixed infrastructure. All the users in these networks are mobile. The mobiles communicate either directly or via other nodes of the network by establishing routes. The mobility of nodes causes the existing links to be break frequently. So if we can predict future movement, the resources reservation can be made before be...
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is standardized by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as a signaling and control functionality for multimedia services (video and audio). However, SIP is a text-based protocol with messages usually exceeding several hundred bytes in size, thus causing high call set-up latency over low bit-rate links. As a consequence, SIP suffers from undesirable delay which is...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have attracted increasing attention and deployment as a high-performance and low cost solution to last-mile broadband Internet access. Wireless mesh networks have emerged as a potential technology for next-generation wireless networking. WMNs have been widely accepted in the traditional application sectors of ad hoc networks because of their advantages over other wireless...
Due to the complexity and time-variation of wireless channel, it is a great challenge to measure and estimate the channel quality accurately in wireless ad hoc network. To address this problem, we propose a link quality estimator which use the packet loss rate (PLR), round trip time (RTT), available bandwidth (ABW) at the sender and the feedback information from receiver to continuously tracks the...
Because of rapid channel attenuation in lossy environment, there is a severe packet drop loss problem in wireless ad hoc networks. Though MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) technology can alleviate this effect greatly, it will result in higher transmission energy depletion as using more transmit antennas. Lots of schemes have been proposed to reduce such energy cost by transmit antenna selection. However,...
This paper presents a comparative analysis, set in Vanet scenarios and based on simulations, between the well-known IEEE 802.11p standard and an efficient slotted protocol based on RR-Aloha (MS-Aloha). Notably the chosen slotted protocol is completely distributed and based on reservation, and has been specifically designed to face issues typical of mobility, while preserving quality of service guarantee...
TCP, the facto standard used in today's Internet, has been found to perform poorly in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). This is exacerbated by contention with increasing UDP-based high priority multimedia traffic and the class differentiation introduced in current QoS protocols, which results into TCP starvation and increased spurious timeouts. In this paper, we propose a cross-layer TCP enhancement...
Wireless ad hoc networks are a collection of mobile nodes spreading over a defined geographical area, enabling realtime collaborative applications such as push-to-talk and VoIP. Unfortunately, wireless ad hoc networks suffer from limited bandwidth and QoS constraints. A proposed eXplicit MultiCAST (XCAST) based routing protocol (P-XCAST) is presented in this paper to support team-based communications...
Wireless ad hoc networks using omni-directional antennas do not scale well due to interference between nearby nodes. Maintaining the QoS of the communications in this type of network is a difficult task. Using multiple narrow beam directional antennas alleviates this problem at the expense of connectivity. Multi-beam smart antennas allow the network topology to be adjusted dynamically by adjusting...
Services utilizing wireless LANs as communication infrastructure are drawing much attention these days. However, access points (APs) of existing wireless LANs are in most cases connected with wires and it is fairly expensive to install APs. Wireless mesh network is one of the ways to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a new method to improve the communication quality of wireless mesh network...
Wireless ad hoc networks are a type of wireless network that can be easily created without the need of network infrastructure or central administration. Unfortunately, wireless ad hoc networks suffer from some limitations related to the bandwidth leakage. So a proper data flow mechanism should be used to save the bandwidth consumption. So we proposed an XCAST based routing protocol (P-XCAST) to be...
Routing is a challenging task in mobile adhoc network due to nodal mobility, unstable links and limited resources. Swarm intelligence, as demonstrated by biological swarm, such as ant colony has found to be a attractive technique for routing in MANET. However existing swarm intelligence based routing protocols find an optimal path by considering only one or two route selection metrics, such as hop...

Finally, give a conclusion about our preliminary studies and this paper.
Communication in VANETS needs consideration of high mobility, congestion, collision and reliability factors. The successful delivery of important messages needs high reliability in case of TCP traffic during high congestion. Reliability and performance of priority based traffic is better than for same priority traffic and produces different results. In this paper we have analyzed the performance of...
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have recently gained a lot of popularity due to their rapid deployment and instant communication capabilities. However, as a key technology for next-generation wireless networking, WMNs lack suitable routing metrics and protocol for new features. Currently, AODV is the routing protocol used in WMNs. This paper proposes an ants-in-mesh (AIM) routing protocol for wireless...
Architecture, functions and process of decisionmaking by a control system of unit for maintenance of the given quality of message transfer in MANET networks are considered.
The cross-layer design approach is an important concept in mobile ad-hoc networks which is adopted to solve several open issues. It aims to overcome MANET performance problems by allowing protocols belonging to different layers to cooperate and share network status information while still maintaining separated layers. While cross-layer model could enhance the performance of the applications and achieve...
With the development of mobile ad hoc network (MANET), quality of service (QoS) routing becomes more and more important power control scheme decrease the interference between paths and conserve energy at hosts. But, the bandwidth evaluations are more difficult due to the dynamic transmitting power. In this paper, we propose a multi-path QoS routing with power control (MQRPC) in TDMA-based MANETs....
