Improved Quality of Service Protocol for Real Time Traffic in MANET

The technologies like Wi-Fi, Blue tooth, WiMax etc. have made Mobile Ad hoc Networks common in our Real life. Multi-media applications need to be supported on MANET. A certain level of QoS (Quality of Service) support is essential for Real time data. Our proposed protocol provides the required QoS without having negative impact on Best Effort data traffic. An efficient rout discovery mechanism for AODV routing protocol as well as transmission technique for real time data are proposed. This technique gives more transmission opportunities to real time data traffic results in decreasing transmission delay and increasing throughput. A modified version of the popular AODV routing protocol to provide QoS guarantee for real time traffic in MANETs is proposed. The simulation shows better performance results for proposed protocol over the basic AODV. .
