Development and Prospect of the Supported QoS in Ad Hoc Networks
Zhao Li · Journal of Jinling Institute of Technology · 2005
The application environments require that wireless ad hoc networks should support Quality-of-Service(QoS).In a wireless ad hoc network,supporting quality-of-service is very difficult because of the inherent characteristics of wireless channel and the frequent change of network topology.This paper comprehensively summarizes and deeply analyzes the researches of recent years on the QoS routing,QoS signaling,and media access control(MAC) mechanism,adaptive service adjusting and dynamic resource management in wireless ad hoc networks.Based on the analysis,this paper deeply discusses the problems that must be resolved to support QoS in wireless ad hoc networks,and points out the direction to the research in the future.
