QOS ROUTING USING LINK AND NODE STABILITY IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS
Shuchita Upadhayaya, Charu Gandhi · 2009
Mobile Ad hoc Networks are highly dynamic networks. Quality of Service (QoS) routing in such networks is usually limited by the network breakage due to either node mobility or energy depletion of the mobile nodes. Also, to fulfill certain quality parameters, presence of multiple node-disjoint paths becomes essential. Such paths aid in the optimal traffic distribution and reliability in case of path breakages. Thus, to cater such problem, we present a node-disjoint multipath protocol. The metric used to select the paths taking into account both the link stability and energy levels of the nodes.
