1. A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) comprising:

  • a plurality of mobile nodes each comprising a wireless communications device and a controller connected thereto;

    said controller operating in accordance with a multilayer protocol hierarchy for,at an upper protocol layer, establishing a quality of service (QoS) threshold;

    at at least one intermediate protocol layer below the upper protocol layer, determining whether a QoS metric for at least one selected route from at least one source mobile node tails below the QoS threshold; and

    at a lower protocol layer below the at least one intermediate protocol layer, cooperating with said wireless communications device todetermine the QoS metric for the at least one selected route,receive data from the at least one source mobile node via the at least one selected route, andadjust signal reception gain based upon a determination that the QoS metric has fallen below the QoS threshold.
