Protocol Independent Multicasting in Wireless Mesh Networks

چکیده
Multicast in wireless networks received a lot of attention, from ad-hoc networks, to structured multi-hop meshes. However, the support of the standard Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocol has been dismissed as non important (or non feasible), given that its straightforward application on wireless networks does not work properly. In this work we analyse the reasons why PIM standard implementations interacts badly with wireless networks and propose simple countermeasures that do not require modifications of the standard, but only small modifications of the implementation. The Dense Mode version of PIM is implemented in ns-3 and results are presented showing the performance of the protocol and its overheads in mesh networks with fixed mesh routers and both fixed and mobile end-user clients.

A Survey on Multicast Routing Approaches in Wireless Mesh Networks
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which mediates the broadband Internet access, have been recently received many attentions by the researchers. In order to increase capacity in these networks, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi-channel WMNs (MRMC WMNs). Therefore, a vital challenge that poses in MRMC WMNs is how to properly assign channels ...

Multicasting can be an effective routing service in wireless mesh networks (WMNs), which have gained significant acceptance in recent years due to its potentials of providing a low-cost wireless backhaul service to mobile clients. Many applications in WMNs require efficient and reliable multicast communication, i.e., with high delivery ratio but with less overhead among a group of recipients. H...
متن کاملMulticasting Sustained CBR and VBR Traffic in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks
Wireless ad-hoc networks consist of mobile nodes forming a dynamically changing topology without any infrastructure. Multicasting in a wireless ad-hoc network is difficult and challenging. In this paper we propose a novel protocol, Wireless Ad-hoc Real-Time Multicasting (WARM), for multicasting real-time (CBR and VBR) data among nodes in a wireless ad-hoc network. The protocol is distributed, h...

Multicast routing is a key technology for modern communication networks. It sends a single copy of a message from a source to multiple receivers over a communication link that is shared by the paths to the receivers. This is especially appropriate in wireless environments where bandwidth is scarce and many users are sharing the same wireless channels. In particular, for WMNs, multicast can repr...
