Quality assurance metrics for MANET evaluation

Quality assurance is a program for the systematic monitoring and evaluation of the various aspects of a service or facility to ensure that standards of quality are being met. For this paper quality assurance metric reliability has been taken into account. Reliability includes the maturity, fault tolerance, and recoverability. Quality attributes reliability is affected by mobile-wireless information systems and for this attribute a scale is decided and applied on the Packet delivery ratio. Packet delivery ratio is defined as the ratio of data packets received by the destinations to those generated by the sources [11]. The quality assurance metric gives us an idea of how well the protocol is performing at different speeds and using different pause time.
