Abstract :
In this article, we propose a method to enhance accuracy of the available bandwidth estimation in IEEE 802.11-based ad hoc networks. This method combines medium state monitoring, probability of collision estimation and backoff time evaluation, improving the method described in C. Sarr et al., (2005). We evaluate our solution by simulation on different scenarios and compare it with different QoS routing protocols based on different available bandwidth estimation techniques
