In this work, we present an effective QoS routing algorithm based on the IEEE 802.11 multi-rate for video streaming over mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed routing algorithm is designed to minimize the consumed timeslots while guaranteeing the required timeslots at all the pairs of adjacent nodes over the route and the contention neighbors of these nodes to support the route. Furthermore, the proposed routing algorithm can distribute the network loads well over the entire network. This technology is essential because video streaming applications require stringent QoS. Experimental results are presented to show the performance of the proposed routing algorithm.
