Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are self-organized networks of dynamic nodes connected by multihop paths without central administrator and have been incorporated with many applications and routing protocols. Moreover, in a real MANET environment it is very difficult to distribute the network resources for any type of running applications on respective nodes and to maintain firmness of those resources with all other nodes. The various issues such as resource scarcity, node mobility, and quality of service (QoS) for applications running with different requirements over MANETs need to be addressed. The QoS guarantee for applications in MANET is crucial in providing services without interruption to the network users. In recent trends, negotiation and renegotiation of resources in such networks solve the problems associated with allocation of available resources to meet the QoS requirements. In our proposed protocol, QoS negotiation and renegotiation techniques (algorithms) using mobile agents have been incorporated for QoS management in a MANET. The protocol simulation is carried out with JADE framework which is a platform for mobile agents creation, migration, and their interaction with other agents. MANETs with different densities of nodes have been tested with the designed protocol with varying number of applications. We evaluated our proposed work with existing techniques, to show the improvement in terms of response time.
