a study on qos issues for mobile ad-hoc networks
In this paper a comprehensive review on some of the very recent works on Quality of Service issues in MANET has been presented. Although MANET has been initially proposed for disaster recovery and military communication, in today's world it has reached the civilians in all pervasive manner. QoS support is required to satisfy the growing need for multimedia technologies and commercial applications. More than 70\% of the works referred and critically reviewed in the paper have been published in last five years. The papers sited here are particularly rich with novel ideas and thorough implementations. However, the limitations and sometimes restricted scope of these works are highlighted here. The motivation is not to underrate these excellent works, but to open up the scope of further improving the state of the art scenario for the future researchers. Qualitative evaluation on individual approaches followed by comparative analysis of simulation results would ease the task of researchers who intend to work in this area.
