A Dual Mode Buffer for Reliable Multicast in Mobile IP Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In mobile IP networks, a local mobility agent is extended to assist reliable multicast for mobile nodes. Each agent keeps in its buffer all packets that are likely to be requested by any of its mobile nodes. They can provide reliable service by performing a retransmission for the requested packet from its mobile nodes. When a mobile node moves to another subnet, transmission errors tend to happen in bursts, because the two subnets have differential transmission delays from the sender. We propose a new scalable buffer management scheme taking into account this fact. Under our scheme, mobile nodes do not acknowledge for every correctly received packet to their local mobility agent; instead, they send infrequent feedbacks to their agent. The feedback schedule of each mobile node is adaptive to their transmission error patterns. The mobility agents can also perform adaptive packet discarding based on the feedbacks.

Tree-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 ...

In this paper, we present a protocol for providing reliable multicast message delivery in mobile networks. Our protocol eeciently tracks message delivery and allows for reliable message delivery in an environment where the mobile multicast group experiences frequent adds and drops. Furthermore, our protocol allows group changes and message tracking to be handled locally, which translates to sho...
متن کاملHSMM: Hierarchical Synchronized Multimedia Multicast for Heterogeneous Mobile Networks
For supporting handoff mobile users on heterogeneous wireless networks to synchronously receive and play out multicast multimedia stream data, we propose a two-layer Hierarchical Synchronized Multimedia Multicast (HSMM) architecture to enhance the single-layer Synchronized Multimedia Multicast (SMM). In HSMM, each wireless network operator can adapt its own management mechanism, such as routing...
متن کاملA Reliable Region based Hierarchical Mobile Multicast Protocol for IPv6 Network*
We propose a basic mobile multicast scheme in Mobile IPv6 called previous network subscription (PS). In PS, when a mobile host moves to a new foreign network, it will build a bi-directional tunnel with its previous network, so mobile host can continue to receive multicast packets soon after handover. We also propose a new reliable mobile multicast protocol called RRHMoM (Reliable Region based H...
