Joint Topology-Transparent Scheduling and Multipath QoS Routing in MANETs
Yuan Li, Baolin Sun, Xing Guo Luo · 2009
In this paper, a joint topology-transparent scheduling and multi-path quality-of-service (QoS) routing in mobile ad hoc networks is proposed. Topology-transparent scheduling (TTS) is used as the MAC in both the control and data channels. The proposed scheme has a new capability of establishing multiple QoS sub-paths, even for a single session connection. When the route search cannot find a single path that meets the bandwidth requirements, multi-path QoS routing scheme contributes to reducing the probability of call failure by means of simulations.
