Weighted Fair Queuing for AEERG Protocol in MANET

Abstract

Quality of Service along with routing has been a subject of interest in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). This paper focused on the implementation of Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) in the Adaptive Energy Efficient Reliable Gossip (AEERG) protocol in MANET and comparison of the performance with other three existing queuing disciplines (FIFO, PQ and RED). Processing can be done by allowing packets in a scheduled manner. Traffic from different flows is subjected to pass through a specific node. When a particular path is selected as shortest path to reach destination for all traffic flows in the adaptive energy efficient algorithm, queue scheduling disciplines have been used to improve the quality of service.  This paper gives the NS-2 simulation results to compare their relative performance based on average end to end delay, Actual packet delivery ratio in percentage and routing overhead for the above queuing techniques.
