Abstract

A lot of work has been done on routing in MANETs. However, the proposed routing solutions deal only with the best effort data traffic. Connections with Quality of Service (QoS) requirements are not supported. The QoS routing has been receiving increasingly intensive attention in the wireline network domain. However, for MANETs only few QoS routing algorithms are proposed. For MANETs, approximated solutions and heuristic algorithms should be developed and QoS routing algorithms should be adaptive, flexible, and intelligent. In our previous work, we proposed a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based routing method for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (GAMAN). In this paper, we enhance the proposed algorithm by adding an effective topology extraction algorithm to reduce the search space of GAMAN. We call this algorithm E-GAMAN. The E-GAMAN uses two QoS parameters for routing. The performance evaluation via simulations show that E-GAMAN has a good performance.
