Estimated Bandwidth Distribution with Admission Control for Enhanced QoS Multicast Routing in MANETs

Wireless networks become more widely used to support advanced services. Traditional approaches to guarantee quality of service (QoS) work well only with predictable channel and network access. The Multicast transmission is a more efficient mechanism when compared to uni-casting in supporting group communication applications and hence is an important aspect of future network developments. To enable high QoS for all admitted traffic, the Admission Control monitors the wireless channel and dynamically adapts admission control decisions to enable high network utilization while preventing congestion. Mobile Adhoc networks can provide multimedia users with mobility, if efficient QoS multicast strategies were developed. In load balancing QoS Multicast Routing QMR, constant available bandwidth for the link is assumed. A cross-layer framework to support QoS multicasting is extended for more effective than QMR. The extension reflects good packet delivery ratios associated with lower control overhead and lower packet delivery delay. If minimum real-time requirements are not met, these unusable packets waste scarce bandwidth and hinder other traffic, compounding the problem. Whereas the dynamically adapted mobility with control overhead monitors the high QoS for all admitted traffic, and the bandwidth for each node is enhanced to reflect the good packet delivery ratio associated with lower control overhead and lower packet delivery delay.
