However, that is very difficult because of the inherent characteristics of the wireless channel and the frequent changes of network topology caused by nodes movement. An Ad hoc QoS Multicasting (AQM) protocol can solve this problem by previously reserving the neighbor nodes for tracking resource availability. By considering QoS restrictions of transport delay, loss ratio, bandwidth requirement, delay jitter, and throughout, and by finding the adaptive routing, the AQM protocol can obviously improve the efficiency of multicastsession. The results of network simulation show that QoS is essentially applicable to Ad hoc networks.展开更多
