Abstract

Mobile ad hoc networks consist of mobile nodes without any infrastructure. Movement of nodes in mobile ad hoc networks is free in each side. These networks are confronted with several limitations that should be considered in the design and implementation of any protocol. Due to the dynamicity of these networks, supporting Quality-of-Service is a primary requirement of the applications deployed over MANET‟s. To service based on quality of service, we have proposed a new protocol that search and allocate services between applicant nodes in the network. The main feature of this algorithm, is selecting servers based on the current state of the network that can reduce the number of service handoffs and serve the clients according to their performance needs, specified in the client Service Level Argument. An emulator has been used to evaluate the proposed protocol. It was observed that applying this algorithm has significant impact on the quality of service parameters.
