Investigation and Parameter Identification for Effecting QoS in MANET

Shilpi Tripathi

Abstract: Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-formed and self organized by a collection of mobile nodes, interconnected by multi-hop wireless paths in a strictly peer to peer fashion. Scalability of a routing protocol is its ability to support the continuous increase in the network parameters (such as mobility rate, traffic rate and network size) without degrading network performance. The goal of QoS provisioning is to achieve a more deterministic network behaviors, so that information carried by the network can be better delivered and network resources can be better utilized. We are analyzing the performance of reactive routing protocol via increasing number of nodes and observing its effect on Quality of Service (QoS) of Mobile Ad-hoc Network. The performance metrics comprises of QoS parameters such as packet delivery ratio, end to end delay, routing overhead, throughput and jitter. The effect of scalability on these QoS parameters is analyzed by varying number of nodes, packet size, time interval between packets and mobility rates.

Index Terms: MANETs, QoS, Routing Protocols, Throughput, End to End delay.
