Multi-path admission control for mobile ad hoc networks

To enable the use of applications that require real-time communication in ad hoc networks, an admission control mechanism must be in place to prevent the network from becoming congested, since congestion results in reduced quality of service for applications. Current admission control solutions encounter problems in the face of mobility, resulting in unacceptable disruptions in communication. To solve this problem, we apply multi-path routing mechanisms and propose a new admission control protocol. We show through simulation that our solution is able to prevent communication disruptions and meet the QoS needs of the application.Validerad; 2004; Bibliografisk uppgift: FEATURE: Special feature on MobiHoc 2004 posters; 20061227 (ysko
