Quality of Service Routing and Mechanisms for Improving Video Streaming over Mobile Wireless Ad hoc Networks

Supervisor: Guerri Cebollada, Juan Carlos

Abstract: This thesis dissertation tackles the problem concerning provision of video streaming services over mobile wireless ad hoc networks. The main contribution of this thesis is the development of a comprehensive routing protocol that has a feedback scheme in order to provide information to the application about the network conditions. This protocol has a cross-layer architecture and it incorporates three important enhancements. Firstly, a new route recovery strategy, which provides a mechanism to detect the link failures in a route and re-establish the connections taking into account the conditions of quality of service that have been established during the previous route discovery phase. Secondly, an algorithm for the estimation of the available bandwidth along the route, information that is sent to application layer in order to apply an adaptation procedure that adjusts the bit rate of the video source.
