Fqm Framework for Supporting Multimedia Applications in Manets

In Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), the mobility of nodes is a challenging issue for designers. There are lots of possibilities of mobile scenarios in this kind of network. The source, destinations and intermediate nodes may not be using the same mobile scenarios. In this study, three mobile scenarios are taken in consideration and these scenarios are source mobility, destinations mobility and intermediate nodes mobility. The impact of the three mobile scenarios on the Quality of service Multicast Framework (FQM) for supporting multimedia applications in MANETs is studied. The simulation results show that mobility of group of destinations affects the performance of FQM framework more than mobility of source. In addition, the analysis of simulation results shows that mobility of intermediate nodes does not have high effect on the performance of FQM framework when node density is not high.
