ABSTRACT
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are wireless networks that communicate with other nodes through radio waves without any infrastructure. The flexibility of this network is that it allows every node to behave both as a host and router for communication. The topology of the MANET often fluctuates because of the node mobility, which creates complexity to support Quality of Service (QoS). Furthermore, it has some other characteristics like an absence of a base station and inadequate resources like battery power, increasing the network’s complexity. The mobility models that resemble the network have a significant impact in providing QoS support in MANET. MANET has become an emerging topic for research as various works are worldwide due to its ease and flexibility. This chapter has done many experiments on Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) using Gauss Markov mobility model with various parameters to check the impact of QoS in MANET. It is concluded that the distinct parameters give different results using the same mobility model.
