Link Stability Based Multipath Video Transmission Over MANET

Video transport over ad- hoc networks is more challenging than other wireless networks. The wireless links in an ad hoc network are not very much error resilient and can go down frequently because of node mobility, interference, channel fading, and the lack of infrastructure. Moreover, typical video applications may need a higher bandwidth and higher reliability connection than that provided by a single link in current or emerging wireless networks. In Ad-hoc networks connection between source anddestination may break down and has to be updated regularly. A path between a source-destination pair is called “stable” if it consists of most stable neighbors at each intermediate hops. Certainly, it is always desirable that any routing protocol picks up more stable paths. Using simulation we can show that ourprotocol is smart enough to cope with the mobility of the network.
