The document discusses a proposed QoS-oriented distributed routing protocol (QOD) designed to enhance the performance of hybrid networks that integrate mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and infrastructure wireless networks. The QOD protocol aims to reduce transmission delays, increase throughput, and improve scalability by addressing common issues such as invalid reservations and race conditions in existing systems. Key contributions include neighbor selection algorithms, packet scheduling, mobility-based segment resizing, soft-deadline forwarding, and data redundancy elimination.
