A quality of service (QoS) scheme for multimedia multicast communications in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) is proposed in this study. It uses a new bandwidth calculation scheme to provide rate-adaptive admission control. It relies on 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 the proposed QoS scheme, the network layer provides feedback on network congestion to the application layer. The multimedia multicast sender adapts the real-time data transmission rate based on the network congestion feedback it receives. In this study, the authors describe the detailed architecture of the proposed QoS scheme. Furthermore, the authors have implemented the QoS scheme in our previously developed uni-directional link aware multicast extension to AODV (UDL-MAODV) routing protocol. The authors present validation tests to ensure the correct functionality of the QoS algorithm using our SwanMesh WMN testbed. The authors have also performed simulation tests to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed QoS scheme.
