Abstract

The problem of QoS routing for MANET posses several challenges that must be addressed within the pervasive computing environment. QoS routing has the association of two main components, one related to the metrics acquisition and distribution and the other related to the QoS route selection mechanism. The challenges inherent to these components are presented. QoS routing can impact the performance of MANET in the pervasive computing environment, by selecting the most optimal route from source to destination. Its dynamic nature inferred that the metrics which indicate the quality of the node connectivity and bandwidth must be taken into account. A method of bandwidth and node connectivity index calculation is shown.
