Abstract: In this study, two intelligent routing protocols namely Intelligent Quality of Service (QoS) aware adhoc on demand distance vector routing scheme and a rule based QoS aware AODV protocol for effective routing in mobile ad hoc networks have been proposed and implemented. The first protocol which focuses on the improvement of QoS relies on the information it receives from the network and application layers to calculate the network bandwidth consumption and operates independently of the Media Access Control (MAC) layer. Using this proposed intelligent QoS based AODV scheme, the network layer provides feedback on network congestion to the application layer. Therefore, the source node adapts the real-time data transmission rate based on the network congestion feedback it receives through intelligent rules. In addition to this, researchers propose a new routing protocol which focuses on both QoS and rule based route management. The simulation results obtained from this work demonstrate that the schemes proposed in this work are effective for both QoS requirements and also for making intelligent routing decisions with multiple QoS constraints. The proposed schemes reduce the packet loss, network overload, optimizes the delivery path, packet overhead, packet delivery ratio and delay.
