Abstract :
Based on the scheme of MACA/PR, a new mechanism MAQF/MAC that can provide MAC layer QoS guarantees for MANET has been presented. MAQF/MAC can measure the variation of resource in real time, change the channel access policy and adapt the amount of resource captured by traffic. Simulation results show that MAQF/MAC is superior to MACA/PR in the aspects of multi-level traffic QoS provisioning and resource utilization.
