Distributed Cross-Layer QoS Provisioning in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Xuefei Li, LAURIE G. CUTHBERT · 2006
In this paper, a novel distributed cross-layer QoS (DCLQ) architecture based on MQRD is proposed to provide QoS guarantees for real-time traffic and best-effort traffic in mobile ad hoc networks. Without any extra control overhead, DCLQ can schedule packets of real-time flows according to their per-hop QoS requirements
