A Fault-Tolerant Multicast Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad–Hoc Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work, we propose an efficient multicast routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks. To achieve high efficiency with low channel and storage overhead, the proposed protocol employs the following mechanism: 1 on-demand invocation of route setup and route maintenance process to avoid periodical control packet transmissions, thus reducing channel overhead, 2 creation of “forwarding group” to forward multicast packets, thus reducing storage overhead, 3 exploration of multiple possible routes from a single flooded query to reduce the frequency of route discovery, thus further reducing channel overhead, 4 a new route setup mechanism that allows a newly joining node to find the nearest forwarding node to minimize the number of added forwarding nodes, thus further reducing storage overhead. To provide the capability of fault tolerance, we introduce the alternate route together with the primary route. We observe that for multicasting the channel and storage overheads of the presented approach are less than those of the DVMRP approach. Also, the channel overhead is less than that in the FGMP approach for multicasting in low mobility scenario, while the storage overheads are the same in the presented approach and in the FGMP approach.

Reliable Multicast in Heterogeneous Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
In disaster scenarios, communication infrastructure could be damaged or completely failed. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) can be used to substitute failed communication devices and thus to enable communication. As group communication is an important part in disaster scenarios, multicast will be used to address several nodes. In this paper, we propose our new reliable multicast protocol RMDA (R...
متن کاملImproving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...

Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) are composed of mobile stations communicating through wireless links, without any fixed backbone support. In these networks, limited power energy supply, and frequent topology changes caused by node mobility, makes their routing a challenging problem. TORA is one of the routing protocols that successfully copes with the nodes’ mobility side effects, but it do...
