Abstract

Multi-hop wireless networks appear as a promising means for providing broadband Internet access in rural and mountain regions. Reliability and QoS are among others two important aspects in such context. This paper presents a pragmatic approach proposed by the IST FP6 ADHOCSYS project, which is supported by the European Commission under the IST strategic objective "Broadband for All". Starting from a general description of ADHOCSYS networks and application scenarios, the paper presents the methodologies adopted for providing reliability and Quality of Service (QoS) in such networks.
