Abstract

With innovative developments made in the research of wireless communication network technologies, many different types of cutting-edge wireless systems are being developed and used today. This paper focuses on the development of a MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc network) scheme intended to be used for delivery of wireless multimedia streaming services. MANET don’t use a fixed infrastructure network but mobile devices form the network themselves autonomously. But owing to un-stability in the state of the wireless channel formed in this way, there will be frequent transmission delays and data losses. In ordinary routing schemes available for data transmission, the greater the amount of data transmitted by the devices, the more severe the quality degradation. Therefore, these schemes are not suitable for streaming multimedia data. This paper suggests a stable protocol that takes into account mobility of nodes, in order to provide an efficient scheme for streaming video content in a MANET. The suggested protocol handles movements of nodes particularly well compared to the existing MP-AOMDV(Mobility Prediction Ad-hoc on-demand Multipath Distance Vector) scheme. The test results show the performance of the suggested protocol. In a large network, it has a short response time and a high transmission success rate. Use of the suggested protocol increases the reliability of the transmission paths, thereby resulting in more organic or flexible handling of changes to the network topology. Furthermore, multimedia streaming services can be delivered more stably compared to when existing systems or schemes are used.
