Novel mac layer techniques for provisioning of qos enhancement in mobile ad hoc networks

Abstract

The main objective of this research work is to provide efficient newlineQuality of Service QoS to the users of Mobile Ad hoc Networks newlineMANETs Solutions to major issues that are detrimental to QoS newlineprovisioning have been proposed in order to achieve effective bandwidth newlineutilization and resource management paving the way to higher QoS levels newlineThe research work includes the following contributions Adaptive newlineAlert Transmission and Suspend Transmission ATST Scheme to help newlineprevent starvation of low priority nodes in a differentiated service newlinearchitecture Distributed Coordination FunctionSelfish Misbehavior newlineAvoidance DCFSMA mechanism to mitigate the illeffects of misbehaving newlinenodes in the network and enhance the resource utilization for legitimate users newline newline
