Guide to Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Part of the book series: Computer Communications and Networks ((CCN))

Abstract

Quality of Service is the performance level of a service offered by the network to the user. Provision of quality of service guarantees in wireless ad hoc networks is very challenging due to some inherent difficulties like node mobility, multi-hop communications, contention for channel access and lack of central coordination. In this chapter we summarise a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art research works related to quality of service support in wireless ad hoc network and provide coordination among the research works.
