Impact of Intermediate Bottleneck Nodes on the QoS Provision in Wireless Infrastructure less Networks

Abstract

Wireless Infrastructure less networks consist of wireless mobile nodes with heterogeneous and constrained resources, to establish internet connectivity regardless of the location. The applications the networks are disaster relief, health care and military. These applications are sensitive, and demands the reliable, and best quality of communication. Routing is one of the resources to enable the communication. Routing is acceptable in an infrastructure less networks if it satisfies the quality of service requirements. Thus the paper aims to investigate the existing QoS routing protocol performance in various conditions. The aim is to achieve a broad understanding of QoS routing protocol designed for Wireless Infrastructure less networks, and further pave the pathway for future research. The paper analyses the QoS routing protocol performance in presence of bottleneck intermediate node, and it is the novel aspect of the work.
