A Logical Ring Reliable Multicast Protocol for Mobile Nodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A protocol for the reliable multicast of data to mobile hosts is described. A logical ring is maintained between all the base stations that handle the multicast traffic of the same multicast group. A token passing protocol enforces a consistent view between all base stations with respect to the frames that are considered delivered to all mobiles. The interaction of the reliable multicasting and the handoff events of the mobiles is controlled by a special handoff protocol. A description of the management protocol is also given. We use simulation results to illustrate the feasibility of the approach and reveal the performance interplay between the base station buffer size and the token rotation frequency.

Agent-driven backbone ring-based reliable multicast routing in mobile ad hoc networks
Routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for groups should aim at providing reliable and robust multicast routes to the group members against link failures, node failures and mobility conditions. The authors propose an agent-based multicast routing scheme in MANET that builds a backbone in the form of a reliable ring and finds multicast routes. The authors use the convex hull algorithm to fin...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Protocol for Reliable Multicast in Mobile Multi-hop Radio Networks
In this paper we propose a new protocol for reliable multicast in a multi-hop mobile radio network. The protocol is reliable, i.e., it guarantees message delivery to all multicast nodes even when the topology of the network changes during multicasting. The proposed protocol uses a core based shared tree. The multicast tree may get fragmented due to node movements. A notion of forwarding region ...
متن کاملTree-Based Reliable Multicast in Combined Fixed/Mobile IP Networks
This paper proposes a solution to delivering multicast data reliably not only to/from fixed hosts but also to/from mobile hosts in combined fixed/mobile IP networks, particularly with regard to the per-source shortest path multicast routing protocol and remote subscription option in IETF mobile IP multicast standard. We propose exploiting tree-based error recovery, well-established concept for ...

متن کاملReliable 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...
