CDMA Bus Lane: Build Constant Routes for Real-time Traffic in Ad Hoc Networks

With the growing interest of mobile ad hoc networks, one of the major challenges faced by the designers is to support quality-of-service (QoS) in such networks. Especially for real time services, how to issue routes with sufficient and constant bandwidth is a key problem. The CDMA bus lane routing protocol proposed in this paper is a novel solution for CDMA based ad hoc networks. It combines the network and the MAC layers to dynamically set up and reserve an interference-free path for each real-time flow according to its bandwidth requirements
