Multi-Path QoS Routing Protocol Under Three Different Path Selection Strategies in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

Compared to uni-path routing, multi-path routing can better utilize network bandwidth and balance network traffic. These features make it more suitable for mobile ad hoc networks with dynamic network topology and limited network bandwidth resource. In terms of QoS, providing multi-path routing in networks can better support QoS. In the paper, we propose a multi-path QoS Routing protocol based on different path selection Strategies for mobile ad hoc networks. According to different multi-path selection strategies, three sub-protocols have been designed. We evaluate the performance of the QoS routing protocol using extensive simulation.
