Abstract

We consider a large group of mobile stations that are interconnected by a multi-hop network, namely an ad hoc network. This network has the ability to operate without any existing wired or wireless infrastructure. The essential characteristics of this kind of network are a large number of nodes (also referred to as mobile users), node´s mobility, and a need to support various kinds of services. To guarantee the quality-of-service (QoS) in an ad hoc network is quite challenging because the network´s topology can change at anytime. In order to tackle the problem, we introduce an innovative scheduling management scheme utilizing a fuzzy rule-based system. This scheme takes in to account the queue length, link stability, link utilization, and packet´s deadline. Experimental results reveal that the purposed scheme offers a promising performance in maintaining the network´s QoS
