Abstract

In this paper, the problem of voice calls over a mobile ad hoc network that employs IEEE 802.11b standard for the lowest communication layer is considered. The Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) is assumed as the basic medium access protocol. Two DCF access mechanisms for VoIP conversation are considered. A new metric for searching a stable routing based on an extended Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol is proposed and investigated. The simulation results show that the new routing protocol can improve performance of VoIP
over ad hoc network as compared to the standard AODV protocol.
