In [2], we proposed an integrated stateless cross-layer QoS protocol FuzzyQoS based on fuzzy
logic for wireless MANETs. e choice of using fuzzy logic is justified by the fact that fuzzy logic
is well adapted to systems characterized by imprecise states as in the case of ad hoc networks. e
fuzzy approach aims to improve the control of traffic regulation rate and congestion control of
multimedia applications. FuzzyQoS uses fuzzy thresholds to adapt the traffic transmission rate
to the dynamic conditions. e performance evaluation has shown that our fuzzy stateless QoS
model can achieve ...
