Abstract
In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs), lack of a fixed infrastructure, dynamic network topology, device mobility and data communication over wireless channels make the multi-hop routing a very challenging task. Due to mission-critical applications of MANET, dealing with these challenges through the design of a Quality of Service (QoS)-assured protocol is a substantial problem. Mobility in MANETs is commonly considered as a negative factor on quality, although we suggest that the right approach to mobility awareness using wisely selected metrics can lead to a robust and QoS-assured protocol. In this paper, we propose QMAR-AODV, a QoS-assured Mobility-Aware Routing protocol which is an optimized version of AODV protocol. We utilize a combination of stability and quality metrics including Mobility Ratio (MR(C,E)) between nodes in a route, Energy Efficiency and congestion load to choose the most stable and QoS-assured routes. Our simulation results show that QMAR-AODV protocol outperforms E2E-LREEMR and reduces route instability, end-to-end delay, data retransmissions and packet loss by 8.3% 10.9% 10.6% and 5.4 respectively, while increases data reception and network throughput by 5.1% and 4.8% respectively, compared to E2E-LREEMR routing protocol.

A Survey on QoS based routing protocols for MANET
2019
In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), the provision of quality of service (QoS) guarantees is much more challenging mainly due to node mobility and resource constraints. Therefore it is important that routing protocols incorporate QoS metrics in route finding and maintenance to support end-to-end QoS. The traditional AODV protocol seems less satisfactory in terms of routing data to end systems. Many revisions are done to the traditional AODV protocol to meet QoS challenges focused on bandwidth, end to end delay, Packet delivery ratio, energy and mechanism overheads. Hence , it becomes very necessary for MANETS to have an efficient routing and QoS mechanism to support various application. This article extensively and exclusively studies the issues involved with QoS routing and presents an overview and comparison of existing QoS based revisions done on AODV protocol, thus providing the reader with insight into their differences and allows to highlight trends in protocol design and identify
Enhanced-AODV Routing Protocol to Improve Route Stability of MANETs
The International Arab Journal of Information Technology
Establishing and maintaining link stability in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is one of the key challenging issues. Topology changes in MANET because overhead traffic that leads to consuming extra energy of nodes as well as decreasing the performance of routing protocols. Thus, a comprise approach should be considered during the design of a routing scheme in MANETs to deal with challenges incurred by the mobility of the nodes. In this study, a simple efficient routing scheme called Enhanced_AODV (E-AODV) is proposed, aiming to enhance Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol performance by constructing the most stable and reliable route from source to the destination node. In this routing scheme, the remaining lifetime of links and hop count are the metrics considered for calculating the Route Stability Factor (RSF) that can be utilized as a cost metric to establish the best route between source and destination node. The simulation results reveal that the proposed E...
An Improved Quality of Service Using R-AODV Protocol in MANETs
2015 3rd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Modelling and Simulation (AIMS), 2015
Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is a type of wireless ad hoc network which is a self-arranging network of mobile nodes connected by wireless links that create a discretionary topology. The mobile nodes are free to move randomly and to arrange themselves in a random manner. Thus, the wireless ad hoc network topology may expand rapidly and unpredictably. In Mobile ad hoc networks, the routing protocol plays an important role for improving Quality of Service (QoS). There are many different types of routing protocols such as reactive, proactive, and hybrid. In reactive routing protocol, AODV is a one which establishes routes on-demand, as they are needed. In this paper, we proposed a new routing protocol called Reverse Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (R-AODV) routing which reduces route path fail correction messages and gives better performance than the original AODV routing protocol with respect to set of performance metric such as packet delivery ratio, throughput, energy consumption, and overhead under different pause time. We designed the R-AODV routing protocol and implemented with certain simulation parameters using Network Simulator (NS-2) tool. The performance analysis of routing protocol designed for wireless networks has been very challenging. Hence, simulations are always utilized to obtain the desired performance results.
Research on Quality of Service Based Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
2020
Quality of service (QoS) based routing protocols play a significant role in MANETs to maintain proper flow of data with efficient power consumption and without data loss. However, several network resource based technical challenges or issues are encountered in the design and implementation of QoS routing protocols that perform their routing function by considering the shortest route or the lowest cost. Furthermore, a secondary route is not reserved and alternative routes are not searched unless the established route is broken. The current structures of the state-of-the-art protocols for MANETs are not appropriate for today’s high bandwidth and mobility requirements. Therefore, research on new routing protocols is needed, considering energy level, coverage, location, speed, movement, and link stability instead of only shortest path and lowest cost. This paper summarizes the main characteristics of QoS-based routing protocols to facilitate researchers to design and select QoS-based ...
Enhancing the Quality of Service in MANET based on Optimization based Routing Protocol
The QoS (quality of service) of a mobile adhoc network (MANET) is determined by a number of factors, the most important of which is the quality of the links among the routes. The ratio of connection failure decreases throughput efficiency, which has a direct impact on QoS. Many industrial units provide a variety of services that can be retrieved through a MANET. This enables industrial things and users to access services through several mobile devices. Since the Manet nodes travel at different speeds and in different directions, the frequency of connection failure will always be higher. However, a variety of routing protocols have been addressed previously to support data transmission, but they struggle when it comes to achieving higher QoS efficiency. This paper presents an optimization-based route selection algorithm to increase the efficiency of route selection and maximize QoS. The method measures the likelihood of connection availability by using the position information, mobility speed, and direction of numerous nodes. In addition, the value of traffic at each node, the neighbors of each node, and the frequency of transmission in each hop are used to calculate the QoS Measure.These parameters are built by using the k-mean clustering algorithm, the final trust for each node will calculate, and nodes will classify based on the level of trust. The results show that the proposed service model has lower communication overhead and, thus, smaller energy consumption amount is achieved when compared with recently proposed models. The proposed approach decreases the energy consumed up to about 50% than the standard AODV protocol.

International Journal of Computer Science and Information Technology, 2010
A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is composed of mobile nodes without any infrastructure. MANET applications such as audio/video conferencing, webcasting requires very stringent and inflexible Quality of Service (QoS). The provision of QoS guarantees is much more challenging in MANETs than wired networks due to node mobility, limited power supply and a lack of centralized control. Many researches have been done so as to provide QoS assurances by designing various MANET protocols. In recent years a number of QoS routing protocols with distinguishing features have been newly proposed. However, systematic performance evaluations and comparative analysis of these protocols in a common realistic environment have been performed only in a limited manner. This paper presents a thorough overview of QoS routing metrics, resources and factors affecting performance of QoS routing protocols. The relative strength, weakness, and applicability of existing QoS routing protocols are also studied and compared. QoS routing protocols are classified according to the QoS metrics used, type of QoS guarantee assured and their interaction with the medium access control (MAC) protocol.

AQ-Routing: mobility-, stability-aware adaptive routing protocol for data routing in MANET–IoT systems
Cluster Computing, 2019
Internet of Things, is an innovative technology which allows the connection of physical things with the digital world through the use of heterogeneous networks and communication technologies. In an IoT system, a major role is played by the wireless sensor network as its components comprise: sensing, data acquiring, heterogeneous connectivity and data processing. Mobile ad-hoc networks are highly self reconfiguring networks of mobile nodes which communicate through wireless links. In such a network, each node acts both as a router and host at the same time. The interaction between MANETs and Internet of Things opens new ways for service provision in smart environments and challenging issues in its networking aspects. One of the main issues in MANET-IoT systems is the mobility of the network nodes: routing protocol must react effectively to the topological changes into the algorithm design. We describe the design and implementation of AQ-Routing, and analyze its performance using both simulations and measurements based on our implementation. In general, the networking of such a system is very challenging regarding routing aspects. Also, it is related to system mobility and limited network sensor resources. This article builds upon this observation an adaptive routing protocol (AQ-Routing) based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques, which has the ability to detect the level of mobility at different points of time so that each individual node can update routing metric accordingly. The proposed protocol introduces: (i) new model, developed via Q-learning technique, to detect the level of mobility at each node in the network; (ii) a new metric, called Q metric ; which account for the static and dynamic routing metrics, and which are combined and updated to the changing network topologies. The protocol can efficiently handle network mobility by a way of preemptively adapting its behaviour thanks to the mobility detection model. The presented results of simulation provide an effective approach to improve the stability of links in both static and mobile scenario and, hence, increase the packet delivery ratio in the global MANET-IoT system.
A Novel Mobility Adaptive Routing Protocol for Manets
2019
Mobile Ad Hoc network (MANET) is a collection of smart mobile nodes, which form a dynamic and autonomous system. Since mobile nodes are free to move, they cause frequent changes in network topology and decrease the overall network performances. Therefore, the task of finding and maintaining a reliable route constitute the main issue in the design of efficient routing protocol for MANET. In this paper, we introduce a novel Mobility Adaptive AODV routing protocol (MA-AODV), which uses the degree of mobility time variation and the local route repair approach to mitigate the influence of high mobility and improve routing performances. We implemented the MA-AODV on network simulator NS2. Then, we evaluated the performance of MA-AODV and AODV based on node mobility variation such as speed and pause time. The comparison of performance metrics, such as Packet delivery Ratio, Throughput, routing overhead and communication delay demonstrates that MA-AODV outperforms AODV in high mobility envi...

2010
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) appear nowadays as one of the most promising architectures to flexibly provide multimedia services in multiple wireless scenarios. However, the dynamic nature of this environment complicates the supporting of the heavily demanded QoS. In this paper, an attempt has been made to performing the individual and comparative performance analysis of QoS-aware routing on proactive protocol (DSDV) and two prominent on-demand source initiated routing protocols: AODV and DSR protocols using network simulator NS-2.34.The performance matrix includes the following QoS parameters such as PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio), Throughput, End to End Delay and Routing overhead. We are also analyzing the effect in performance of QoS parameters on these routing protocols when packet size changes, when time interval between packet sending changes, when mobility of nodes changes.

It has more dynamic topology that changes over time and less battery power of the nodes, less bandwidth and transmission quality enhancements. It supported Real time & multimedia application by Manet. QOS have parameter like as easy bandwidth utilization, less delay, minimum packet loss, good throughput, jitter.

MA-AODV: Mobility Aware Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
2009 Fourth International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications, 2009
A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that communicate and collaborate with each other without reliance on any pre-existing infrastructure. In MANETs, wireless links are subject to frequent breakages due to nodes high mobility. While several routing protocols such AODV and DSR have been designed for MANETs, many of operate efficiently under low network mobility conditions and do not adapt well with high mobility conditions. Therefore, considering mobility is a demanding task that should be performed efficiently and accurately. In this paper, we propose novel mobility-aware routing protocols based on the well known Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol called: MA-AODV (Mobility Aware-Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector) in an attempt to improve the handling of high mobility in ad hoc networks. MA-AODV protocols perform periodic quantification of nodes mobility for the sake of establishing more stable paths between source/destination pairs, hence, avoiding the frequent link breakages associated with using unstable paths that contain high mobile nodes. Simulations are done using GloMoSim 2.03 simulator. According to the results, our proposed protocols prove their superiority over the original AODV protocol in terms of the reduced overhead and the increased packet delivery ratio.

International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing, 2012
In mobile ad hoc networks, Quality of Service (QoS) routing is a challenging issue due to several factors like node mobility, multi-path communication and channel access. QoS guarantees are required by most multimedia and other real-time applications. The difficulties of the QoS routing have limited the value of MANETs. Many researches have been done so as to provide QoS assurances in MANET routing protocols. In recent years a number of QoS routing protocols with distinguishing features have been proposed. This paper presents a survey of some of these protocols which include a thorough overview of QoS routing metrics, resources and factors affecting the performance. The protocols are classified according to the multi-path, cross layer, stability, bandwidth reservation, load balancing and power efficiency based approaches. The relative strengths and weaknesses of the protocols have also been studied which allow us to identify the areas for future research. Finally, a comparative study of all routing protocols is provided.
An Efficient Quality of Service Based Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
International Journal of …
Ad-hoc network is set up with multiple wireless devices without any infrastructure. Its employment is favored in many environments. Quality of Service (QoS) is one of the main issues for any network and due to bandwidth constraint and dynamic topology of mobile ad hoc networks, supporting Quality of Service (QoS) is extremely a challenging task. It is modeled as a multi-layer problem and is considered in both Medium Access Control (MAC) and routing layers for ad hoc networks. Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is one of the most used and popular reactive routing protocols in ad-hoc networks. This paper proposed a new protocol 'QoS based AODV' (QAODV) which is a modified version of AODV.
Link Stability Based On Qos Aware On - Demand Routing In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering, 2012
MANET is a autonomous network where communicating entities can communicate without the aid of any downlink power controller called base stations. The wide deployment of MANET, demand for providing different quality of service (QoS) in the network has increased much. QoS routing strategy focused on routing strategy for different QoS in this dynamic network. Hence the task of QoS routing is to optimize the network resource utilization while satisfying the application requirements. Therefore there is no centralized control over links. Further the link quality varies due to mobility of nodes. Existing routing protocols like Ad hoc on demand routing protocol (AODV) or other quality of service routing have a scope of not making the changes in link quality once the path is established and cost matrix is set to zero and link quality is not taken in to consideration to select the stable paths. Therefore the performance of such system degrades with high mobility. Hence in this work we emphasis on incorporating link quality estimation based on mobility prediction of nodes incorporate same in the routing decision further new routes are accumulated and the primary transmission path is changed in case of a better route interms of link quality is obtained. In this paper we mingle the idea of link stability and cost matrix, power consumption to uncover better path interms of both stability and cost along with QoS support.

2017
With the growing fame of multimedia applications, quality of service (QoS) support in MANETs has grown-up to be supplementary and more important. There are lot of research work has done by different authors on energy and stability based issues as these works have their pros and cons. This paper presents a framework to improve the route discovery, route maintenance and delay of packets by using link expiration time, residual energy and drain rate for the higher quality of service. To the best of our knowledge none of the existing protocol considers all these factors together for the establishment of route between source and destination. The overall goal of this paper is to enhance life time of network and quality of service for wireless ad hoc networks. Simulation results show that our proposed protocol performs better than the existing AODV and SQ-AODV protocols.
A Route Stability Based Multipath QoS Routing (SMQR) in MANETs
2008
Providing high quality communications service among mobile wireless devices is basically a challenging task in wireless ad hoc networks. In this paper, we propose a route stability based multipath quality of service (QoS) routing (SMQR) protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) to support throughput and delay sensitive real-time applications in MANETs. Reliability of QoS-aware path is improved through the selection of a maximum of three node-disjoint routes with higher stability. With an effective QoS violations detection and route maintenance mechanism followed, the frequency of route recovery and hence QoS disruption is reduced significantly in moderate to highly mobile scenarios. Extensive simulation studies show that SMQR can support higher level of QoS in terms of packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, maximum jitter, and overall network throughput.
Performance evaluation of MANET routing protocols based on QoS and energy parameters
International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2020
Routing selection and supporting Quality of Service (QoS) are fundamental problems in Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET). Many different protocols have been proposed in the literature and some performance simulations are made to address this challenging task. This paper discusses the performance evaluation and comparison of two typical routing protocols; Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector (DSDV) based on measuring the power consumption in network with varing of the QoS parameters. In this paper, we have studied and analyzed the impact of variations in QoS parameter combined with the choice of routing protocol, on network performance. The network performance is measured in terms of average throughput, packet delivery ratio (PDR), average jitter and energy consumption. The simulations are carried out in NS-3. The simulation results show that DSDV and AODV routing protocols are less energy efficient. The main aim of this paper is to highlight the directions for the future design of routing protocol which would be better than the existing ones in terms of energy utilization and delivery ratio. 1. INTRODUCTION Since 1990, MANET has been a popular research topic and MANETshave also been used in different applications. Supporting mobility of nodes in MANET with hundreds of nodes has been a main challenge in this kind of network, due to limited wireless transmission range, packet losses because of transmission errors, mobility induced route changes, and energy constraints [1].Therefore energy efficiency is important metric for sending the data from source to destination. Routing protocol is used for maximizing the energy efficiency of the network [2, 3]. There are a number of routing protocols for ad-hoc networks [4, 5], they are categorized into Proactive Routing and Reactive routing.Proactive routing protocols or table-driven protocols follow an approach similar to the one used in wired routing protocols. Each node maintains routing table which contains information about the network topology even without requiring it. So, the route in the network is predetermined for example DSDV [6, 7]. Reactive routing or on-demand protocols does not attempt to continuously determine the network connectivity, rout is discovered whenever it is needed. There are various reactive protocols such as AODV [8, 9]. The major difference between AODV and DSDV is that DSDV, the source and the intermediate nodes store the neighbor's node information according to each flow for data packet transmission. It generates no more packets for communication. The connection setup delay is lower and it consumes more share of the bandwidth in addition to taking more time to build routes. Intermediate nodes can lead to inconsistent routes. DSDV protocols are not appropriate for large network or highly dynamic as they need to maintainnode entries for each and every node this leads to increased control message overheads which can
