ABSTRACT: Quality of Service (QoS) is a tool to
measure the efficiency of the Ad-hoc network. QoS is a complex function because
it depends mainly on four factors (throughput, packet delivery ratio,
end-to-end delay and jitter). These four factors are functions of internal factors and are variables with the time. In the result the QoS is an ambiguous
tool. This paper proposes a brand-new method to solve this ambiguity, it will
use the fuzzy technique to simplify the QoS factor and summarize it in a simple
form or in a single value for each application. So it will summarize all
factors of the QoS in a single value for the network if the applications share
is defined. This paper will apply the propose method on Mobile
Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) with different protocols. The new algorithm will
summarize the efficiency of each protocol in a single (crisp) value for all
applications. Finally, an important conclusion is proved, by experimental
result, implying that higher throughput does not usually mean high QoS
supported by the protocols.
