Background & Objective:
There are some challenging issues such as providing Quality of
Service (QoS), restricted usage of channels and shared bandwidth pertaining to ad-hoc networks in a
dynamic topology. Hence, there is a requirement to support QoS for the application environment and
multimedia services in ad-hoc networks with the fast growing and emerging development of information
technology. Eventually, bandwidth is one of the key elements to be considered.
Methods:
Energy aware QoS routing protocol in an ad-hoc network is presented in this article.
Results and Conclusion:
The simulation results indicate that the improved protocol outperforms Adhoc
On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol in terms of QoS metric such as throughput,
packet delivery ratio, loss rate and average delay.
