ABSTRACT

The high mobility of the nodes , the reduced availability of the resources on the one hand and the rising needs of the real time applications made the provision of QoS compulsory in the ad hoc routing. Therefore the incorporating of QoS metrics in routing is very important in order to support any end-toend QoS level. In this paper, we propose a routing approach which takes into account both the state of the nodes and the state of the links in determining the best routes and which guarantees a certain level of quality of service requested by the application.
