Dynamic quality-of-service for mobile ad hoc networks

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to supporting Quality of Service (QoS) in a dynamic network environment. With this approach, resource reservations represent ranges, and applications adapt to an allocated level of QoS provided by the network at some point within the requested range. To explore this approach, we have implemented a new protocol called dynamic RSVP (dRSVP), which is an extension to RSVP.
