Abstract
AbstractThis paper examines the state‐of‐the‐art of Quality of Service (QoS) control for wireless Mobile Ad‐hoc Networks (MANETs) based on an exhaustive literature search comprising over 70 journal papers and conference proceedings and standardization development, per the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Internet Engineering Task Force. Site visits to selected United States Government facilities augmented this literature search by addressing –real‐world” models for a comprehensive series of follow‐on simulations and analyses. This paper defines prominent QoS metrics, such as throughput, delay, packet delivery rate and jitter and then proposes that design parameters, such as data rate, packet size, transmitted power, etc., influence QoS in a way to formulate a Multi‐Objective Function (from the QoS metrics) subject to constraints (from design factors) that will solve an optimization problem using evolutionary computation techniques. This research will foster improvements for data link layer and network layer protocols optimizing QoS control.
