Abstract:

In multi-hop ad hoc networks, queuing resources become unavailable under high load. When the traffic increases, the received frames are generally dropped and retransmitted later by the senders after a short timeout. This situation led to more conflicts in accessing the wireless medium and decreases the network performances. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to avoid the bad utilization of wireless medium in high load conditions. Simulations under NS2 have been conducted to study QoS parameters, especially throughput, delay and jitter. The obtained results show that the performances of our proposal are better than those of IEEE 802.11.
