We introduce the Addressable Internet Multicast (AIM) architecture, which extends the IP-multicast architecture with group-relative addressing information along multicast routing trees. AIM permits more e cient and sophisticated multicast routing options and encourages communication and cooperation between IP and higher-layer protocols. AIM enables sources to restrict the delivery of packets to...

Multicast protocols are used to transfer the messages with a selected group of devices. Multicast is an effective method to maintenance group communication and decrease communicating energy. Multicasting can efficiently support a wide variety of applications. It is challenging to design a separate multicast routing protocol for sensor networks. The multicast routing protocols are fall under the...

CoAP has emerged as the de-facto IoT standard for communication involving resource-constrained devices composing Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs). CoAP mandates the adoption of the DTLS protocol to secure unicast communication. However, in several IoT application scenarios involving a group of multiple devices, the adoption of CoAP multicast communication through IPv6 results in a number of ...

Distributed multimedia applications, as well as advanced applications for computer-supported cooperative work and distributed computing, depend on efficient communication subsystems providing a variety of services. This paper presents a novel framework for support of multipoint communication in ATM networks. Two adaptation layer protocols are presented that provide reliable multicast services. ...

Traditional multicast authentication schemes manage the different involvement of the receivers by letting the sender: Choose the block size, divide a multicast stream into blocks, connect each block with a signature, and spread the effect of the Signature across all the packets in the block. The relationship between packets tends to packet loss which is very common via internet and wireless com...

Multicast-based data communication is an efficient communication scheme especially in multihop ad hoc networks where the MAC layer is based on one-hop broadcast from one source to multiple receivers. The problem of resource allocation for a set of homogeneous multicast sessions over multihop wireless network is addressed. An iterative algorithm is proposed that achieves the optimal rates for a ...

Emerging mobility standards within the next generation Internet Protocol, IPv6, promise to continuously operate devices roaming between IP networks. Associated with the paradigm of ubiquitous computing and communication, network technology is on the spot to deliver voice and videoconferencing as a standard internet solution. However, current roaming procedures are too slow, to remain seamless f...

In this paper we present an extension to the OLSR unicast routing protocol to support multicast routing in mobile ad hoc networks. The proposed protocol is based on Multicast Overlay Spanning Trees (MOST). The main benefits of this approach are twofold. Firstly, it implies that only nodes interested in taking part in the multicast communication need to participate in the protocol operation, whi...

A mobile ad hoc network comprises of a group of wireless mobile centre points dynamically forming a local network without the use of any related network topology or centralized administration. For supporting collaborative applications among a group of mobile user’s multicast is a best efficient method as it implements group communication easily. Group communication and scalability are important...

Wireless Mesh Networking (WMN) is a promising candidate for the next generation networks. Nevertheless, existing cutting edge technological standards for WMNs are not perfectly equipped to cater for supporting the new emerging multicast based instant communication applications that require gateway routing management. Existing solutions offered for providing multicast in WMNs have severe restric...
