QoS support in routing protocols for MANET

This paper deals with the characteristics of mobile ad-hoc networks and the issue of quality of service assurance in these networks. The work is focused mainly on the routing protocol AODV and its ability to provide different processing probabilities for different types of network traffic. Firstly, the development of the MANET simulation model and implementation of AODV protocol are described. The Network Simulator 3 was used as the key software tool for this purpose. The analysis of the efficiency of QoS mechanism implemented into AODV protocol and the final evaluation are posted at the end of this paper.
