A Framework for providing QoS routing in MANETs

The aim of this work is to propose a framework for providing QoS routing in MANETs. The proposed framework uses local information of nodes such as node´s speed, buffer, and power to select path for routing. Deploying these information, more stable paths are selected and hence QoS routing parameter could be satisfied. Moreover, routing performance has been improved, especially in terms of end-to-end delay. The proposed framework performs in a distributed fashion and uses only local information of nodes, so it does not generate any additional packets and does not impose any overhead on network. We provide some simulation results to show the efficiency of the framework
