ABSTRACT:
The present invention is concerned with a method and a system for improving the quality of service in wireless networks and in particular in dynamically changing mobile ad hoc networks. The method of routing data packets through a network depending on priority information, which is based on the bandwidth requirements of each packet and the distance to the destination. To achieve a particular quality of service, a priority indicator is used to forward each packet at each node in the network. The priority indicator being determined based on a pre-determined relation between the distance and bandwidth information.
