  • Abstract

    The emergence of wireless technology has presented intriguing possibilities in the realm of communications. Because of this, data may be ‎manipulated using wirelessly connected, portable nodes and possess limitations such as low storage capacity, reliance on autonomous ‎energy sources, and restricted bandwidth. A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a type of wireless network that consists of mobile nodes ‎that do not rely on any immovable structure. In this research, the nodes are observed to be able to move and autonomously arrange ‎themselves freely into a network structure. Various protocols have been devised to improve the routing process and provide a path among ‎any two hosts in a computer system. Providing quality of service (QoS) ensures that MANETs pose significant challenges compared to ‎wireline networks. These challenges primarily arise from node movement, multi-hop communications, conflict for channel access, and the ‎absence of central collaboration. The challenges associated with ensuring such guarantees have meaningfully constrained the practicality ‎and effectiveness of MANETs. There has been a dramatic uptick in studies over the past few decades dedicated to addressing the issue of ‎QoS assurances in MANET protocols. This research paper analyses various routing protocols and QoS metrics in MANETs‎.
