Abstract
The main challenge of future wireless networks is providing quality of service and quality of experience to satisfy the consumer. This can be achieved by providing mechanisms that will serve optimally the users with the required system resources according to the QoS. Satisfying video consumer require enhancing video streaming quality. Therefore, video streaming over wireless network and particularly over MANET necessitate deeper investigations. In this context, this paper focused on performance analysis of routing protocol over MANET for scalable video streaming. In this work the video codec under evaluation is H.264/SVC and the routing protocols are DSR, AODV, DSDV and AOMD. Our evaluation carried using the Ns-2 simulators configured to support an ad-hoc environment. The QoS metrics used in this analysis are Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Average End-to-end Delay and packets loss rate.
