Abstract

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. Since cooperation in MANETs is required to establish multihop communications, designing efficient QoS Routing algorithms mainly concentrates the technical efforts to guarantee QoS. This work presents a cross-layer architecture that performs a practical solution to solve the trade-off between the QoS provision and the efficient resource utilization thanks to different layers sharing network status information to cooperate in the network resource management. The cooperation between Routing and MAC levels allows to select End-to-End QoS paths according to the bandwidth availability measured in a realistic interference scenario, and appropriately react to mobility in a QoS context.
