Ad Hoc Networks: A Protocol for Supporting QoS Applications

A delay-bounded service in wireless ad hoc networks is challenging, as ad hoc networks do not provide any type of guarantees. Several protocols have been proposed to support applications without timing requirements in ad hoc networks, but the increasing demand of QoS applications, in ad hoc wireless environments, requires delay-bound service. The contribution of this paper is to propose a protocol that provides QoS service, by means of timing guarantees, to the supported applications in ad hoc wireless networks.
