A hybrid QoS routing strategy for suburban ad-hoc networks

The suburban ad-hoc network (SAHN) aims to provide suburban area connectivity for local area networks at broadband speed with a low initial cost and zero service charges using wireless technology. There exists various QoS routing solutions for mobile ad-hoc networks. Some of the solutions can be employed in a SAHN with certain optimizations meeting its routing requirements. Network level security, bandwidth, latency and link stability must be considered to select suitable routes for data transmission. Though existing solutions consider bandwidth, latency and link stability to provide QoS routing, network level security is yet to be integrated. Major contributions of this paper are to propose an efficient routing algorithm for the SAHN, meeting above QoS requirements, and to compare it with two other non QoS solutions.
