摘要
In this paper, a QoS multipath source routing protocol (QoS-MSR) is proposedfor ad hoc networks. It can collect QoS information through route discovery mechanism of multipathsource routing (MSR) and establish QoS route with reserved bandwidth. In order to reserve bandwidthefficiently, a bandwidth reservation approach called the multipath bandwidth splitting reservation(MBSR) is presented, under which the overall bandwidth request is split into several smallerbandwidth requests among multiple paths. In simulations, the authors introduce Insignia, an in-bindsignaling system that supports QoS in ad hoc networks, and extend it to multipath Insignia(M-Insignia) with QoS-MSR and MBSR. The results show that QoS-MSR routing protocol with the MBSRalgorithm can improve the call admission ratio of QoS traffic, the packet delivery ratio, and theend-to-end delay of both best-effort traffic and QoS traffic. Therefore, QoS-MSR with MBSR is anefficient mechanism that supports QoS for ad hoc networks.
