Real time applications are getting increasing popularity in almost all kinds of networks, including MANETs. The support for these applications on best effort network, like IPN, requires the development of protocols that can guarantee a certain level of Quality of Service (QoS). This paper is concerned with a routing protocol for MANETs that provides QoS guarantees using the Time Slot Bandwidth Reservation (TSBR) method. This technique reserves larger bandwidth for real time data thus reducing the queuing delay. In this paper, we propose enhancement in the popular AODV routing protocol to provide QoS support for real time traffic in MANETs. The simulation results show the performance advantages achieved using the proposed protocol over the basic AODV.
