Multicast for Mobile Hosts in IP Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In today’s Internet, the need for multimedia communication leads to rapid progress in multicast technology. Using multicast can efficiently deliver packets to a group of receivers. Compared with unicast, multicast can significantly reduce the bandwidth demand in networks. In the meantime, with the wide use of mobile devices and the introduction of Mobile IP, people can contact with the Internet at anytime and anywhere. It is a very meaningful work to support multicast in Mobile IP. In this paper, we will analyse and evaluate several mobile multicast protocols and provide a new one which is based on Mobile IPv6.

Mobile IP-based Multicast as a Service for Mobile Hosts
There is an increasing need to support user mobility in today's computing environments. The incorporation of multicast routing support in a mobile computing environment presents several challenges. Of special interest are mobile multicast schemes suitable for TCP/IP networks in general, and the Internet in particular. This paper outlines a design of network layer modules in a 4.3 BSD UNIX TM sy...
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 کاملSupporting IP Multicast for Mobile Hosts
IP Multicast is an eecient mechanism of delivering a large amount of data to a group of members over the Internet. Link sharing is achieved by a multicast tree that connects all group members. Mobile IP is the proposed standard for IP mobility support and provides two schemes for mobile hosts to receive multicast packets, either through tunneling from the home agent (called home subscription) o...
متن کاملAn Efficient Multicast Routing Protocol in Wireless Mobile Networks
Providing multicast service to mobile hosts in wireless mobile networking environments is difficult due to frequent changes of mobile host location and group membership. If a conventional multicast routing protocol is used in wireless mobile networks, several problems may be experienced since existing multicast routing protocols assume static hosts when they construct the multicast delivery tre...
متن کاملIp Multicasting for Wireless Mobile Hosts
We consider the problem of e cient multicast support for mobile wireless hosts in TCP/IP networks. We summarize techniques supporting multicasting and mobility, along with their constraints and interactions, and explore architectural alternatives for solutions to the combined problem that remain compatible with the existing architecture. We propose a new mechanism for group management, optimize...
