ABSTRACT

The main objective of this paper is to propose a novel method for enhancing the Quality of Service (QoS) of multimedia applications in wireless adhoc networks. The enhancement is achieved by implementing the Connectionless Light Weight Protocol (UDPLite) in transport layer that supports multimedia applications. In addition to implementing the transport layer protocol, parameters of MAC layer have also been considered to propose an approach that achieves a reduction in delay, jitter and increase in Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR). This Proposed method achieves 9% improvement in reduction of delay and 5% improvement in PSNR as compared to the conventional UDP Protocol.
