Abstract
This article describes how resources are managed in MANETs (mobile ad hoc networks) so that quality of service (QoS) can be achieved to enable service differentiation. The article introduces in detail a QoS routing protocol called admission control enabled on-demand routing (ACOR) protocol. The article also presents the Global framework for functional architecture analysis in telecommunications (GAT) that is used to model ACOR and show its capability to provide different class of service for different mobile customers. For QoS routing protocols, this fashion of modeling is novel and investigates in details the relation between the customer and its provider and the complexity of the domain of MANETs.
