Description
Summary:A lot of work has been done on routing in MANETs. However, the proposed routing resolutions deal only with the best effort data traffic. Connections with quality of service (QoS) requirements are not supported. QoS routing has been receiving increasingly intensive attention in the wireline network domain. However, for MANETs only few QoS algorithms are proposed to be developed and QoS routing algorithms should be adaptive, flexible, and intelligent. We propose a genetic algorithm (GA) based routing method for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (GAMAN). Robustness rather that optimality is the primary concern of GAMAN. The GAMAN uses two QoS parameters for routing. The performance evaluation via simulations shows that GAMAN is a promising QoS routing algorithm for MANETs.
