The widespread of wireless mobile network have increased the demand for its
applications. Providing a reliable QoS in wireless medium, especially mobile
ad-hoc network (MANET), is quite challenging and remains an ongoing research
trend. One of the key issues of MANET is its inability to accurately predict
the needed and available resources to avoid interference with already
transmitting traffic flow. In this work, we propose a resource allocation
and admission control (RAAC) solution. RAAC is an admission control scheme
that estimates the available bandwidth needed within a network, using a
robust and accurate resource estimation technique. Simulation results
obtained show that our proposed scheme for MANET can efficiently estimate
the available bandwidth and outperforms other existing approaches for
admission control with bandwidth estimation.
