Abstract:
In this report I made a review of the new but rapidly growing area of Quality of Services (QoS)
in Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANets). Although the application area of MANets was initially
proposed for environments of battled communications and disaster recovery the evolution of the
Multimedia Technology and the commercial interest of companies to reach widely civilian
applications has made QoS in such networks an avoidable task. In the last recent years we have
also seen the reports of bringing QoS in wire-based networks becoming a reality. Many ideas
inherited from the wirebased networks can be ported to MANets if they take in to consideration
the Bandwidth Constraints, the Dynamic Topology and the Constrained Processing and Storing
Capabilities of MANets.
In this report we will have a glance at successful QoS Models and Protocols of the IP network
such as IntServ, DiServ and RSVP and see how they
have acted the evolution of Models and Protocols in the Wireless
Ad-Hoc world. The report is mainly concentrated on QoS Models, Signaling Protocols and QoS
Routing that have been proposed for MANets. Although QoS MAC Protocols are equivalently
important to achieve a complete QoS Architecture they are out of the scope of this report.
