An interference-aware analytical model for bandwidth reservation in ad-hoc networks

Providing QoS in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) is necessary to allow effective communication in context of multimedia data transmission. Reserving the required resources and applying an admission control mechanism is one way to guarantee end-to-end QoS. Nevertheless, such a scheme should take into account the problem of interferences, consequent to the use of the wireless channel. Much work have provided interference aware bandwidth reservation mechanisms. In this paper, we propose an analytical model for the bandwidth reservation in a mobile node, taking into account interferences. This model allows the evaluation of the probability for a new flow to be accepted in the network, and could be exploited in making the admission control decision.
