%0 Journal Article %T Towards Developing Enhanced Cluster-Based QoS-Aware Routing in MANET %A Libsie %A Mulugeta %A Yitayih %A Kebebew Ababu %J - %D 2020 %R https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/5481916 %X Creating dynamic communication infrastructures between mobile devices and satisfying the desires for time-sensitive multimedia applications have introduced new challenges in the design of protocols for mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, to stream time-sensitive applications using mobile ad hoc network (MANET), we have selected the Optimal Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol. However, the protocol has high overhead because each node selects a set of multipoint relay (MPR) nodes. Therefore, we have proposed quality of service (QoS) supporting the MPR selection approach and a new lower maintenance clustering approach for minimizing the overhead of the network. As a result, the proposed approach showed a better result in the average end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, routing load, and throughput %U https://www.hindawi.com/journals/jcnc/2020/5481916/
