Abstract

In this article, one of the QoS models for MANETs—SWAN is studied under varying conditions to provide both quantitative and qualitative assessments of the applicability of the model in different scenarios. Results and analysis from NS-2 based simulation indicate that (i) real-time (RT) applications in SWAN-enabled mobile ad hoc networks experience low and stable delays under various traffic and mobility environment at the expense of best-effort (BE) traffic, (ii) SWAN model works compatibly with proactive as well as reactive routing protocols, and (iii) a careful choice of SWAN AIMD parameters is important to balance the throughput of the BE traffic and RT traffic and QoS provisions in MANETs.
