Simulation-Based Comparison of Three Wireless Multicast Routing Protocols: MOST, MOLSR and SMOLR
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study multicast protocols for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks, and specifically OLSR networks. We describe and compare three multicast protocols, namely MOST (Multicast Overlay Spanning Tree), MOLSR (Multicast OLSR) and SMOLSR (Simple Multicast OLSR), with different approaches and properties with respect to scalability. Our approach is simulation-based: through different scenarios and configurations, we evaluate the performance of each protocol in terms of average packet delivery ratio and average packet retransmissions. We interpret the results in terms of key design properties and applicability of the protocols.

متن کاملPerformance Comparison of Mesh based and Tree based Multicast Routing Protocols in MANETs
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...
