1. A method for policing traffic admission control in a mobile ad hoc network comprising a plurality of wireless mobile nodes and a plurality of wireless communication links connecting the plurality of nodes together, the method comprising:

  • at each node, transmitting quality-of-service (QoS) route requests to discover traffic routing based upon a QoS parameter, the QoS route requests including a traffic flow identifier;

    at each node, calculating a node QoS tag value to make traffic admission control decisions;

    at each node, determining whether to admit traffic in response to QoS route requests based upon the calculated QoS tag value and the QoS parameter of QoS route requests;

    at each node, replying to QoS route requests to indicate whether the node can support the QoS parameter of the route request and admit the traffic; and

    at each node, policing admitted traffic based upon the traffic flow identifier to ensure that admitted traffic does not exceed the QoS parameter of the QoS route request.
