The availability of interactive multimedia applications (skype, wengo, LiveCom, etc.) is going to modify the usage of future Internet. Such Internet is likely to be more heterogeneous, consisting of different islands of ad-hoc networks. This argues for the growth of interactive applications traffic at the ad-hoc networks level. Providing Quality of Service (QoS) support, in particular low loss rate and low end-to-end delay, in such networks is a challenging task. Limited bandwidth resource and high mobility are two major characteristics of such networks. Moreover, the link breakage rate is high, which leads to high loss rate in the network. In the literature, researches generally span over routing protocols and MAC Layer mechanisms [1] to guarantee few QoS aspects by introducing signalling traffic.
