A Queuing Network Model Based on Ad Hoc Routing Networks for Multimedia Communications

In real-time multimedia applications, the delivery of multimedia information over ad hoc wireless networks has presented difficult challenges requiring considerable research efforts to overcome. To analyze the delivering multimedia packets between mobile nodes with low end-to-end delay and less bandwidth overhead while ensuring high throughput, we propose a queuing network model based on our adaptive-gossip algorithm with probability pn that conserves network bandwidth at each node by reducing the routing overhead. We also analyze the queuing delay in regard to the number of nodes, the transmission range of a node, the behavior of routing, and MAC protocols. We present both analytical and experimental results to thoroughly evaluate our proposed queuing network model, which demonstrates the advantages of an adaptive-gossiping routing method over flooding routing.
