%0 Journal Article %T QUALITY OF SERVICE ROUTING IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS USING LOCATION AND ENERGY PARAMETERS %A Dr. Shuchita Upadhayaya %A Charu Gandhi %J International Journal of Wireless & Mobile Networks %D 2009 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X Mobile Ad hoc Networks are highly dynamic networks. Quality of Service (QoS) routing in such networks is usually limited by the network breakage due to either node mobility or energy depletion ofthe mobile nodes. Also, to fulfill certain quality parameters, presence of multiple node-disjoint paths becomes essential. Such paths aid in the optimal traffic distribution and reliability in case of path breakages. Thus, to cater such problem, we present a node-disjoint multipath protocol. The metric used to select the paths takes into account the stability of the nodes and the corresponding links. The proposed technique is also illustrated with an example. %K QoS Rrouting %K Mobile Ad hoc Networks %K Energy-Aware Routing %K Multipath Rrouting %U http://airccse.org/journal/jwmn/1109s11.pdf
