In This paper presents a novel multicast routing protocol for mobile ad hoc wireless networks. The protocol, termed ODMRP (On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol), is a mesh-based, rather than a conventional treebased, multicast scheme and uses a forwarding group concept (only a subset of nodes forwards the multicast packets via scoped flooding). It applies on-demand procedures to dynamically bui...

In this paper, we study multicast tree construction in MPLS network. We discuss the difficulty in combining multicast and MPLS in a network. We describe some MPLS proposals for the multicast traffic and we justify the need for defining a new protocol. Thereafter we propose MMT, the MPLS Multicast Tree protocol, which uses MPLS LSP** between multicast tree branching nodes in order to reduce the ...

In this work we extended Acharya and Badrinath’s [2] reliable multicast protocol for mobile computing so as to provide also for atomicity of message delivery. In this protocol, named AMC, a multicast message is only delivered to all mobile host destinations if these are reachable during a first phase of the protocol. After a multicast is either committed or aborted, the protocol guarantees that...

In this paper, we address the problem of video multicast over Ad hoc wireless networks. Multicasting is an efficient means of one-to-many communication and is typically implemented by creating a multicast tree. Video multicasting demands high quality of service with a continuous delivery to receivers. However, most of the existing multicast solutions do not guarantee this because they are not r...

In distributed network applications such as multiparty teleconferencing, users often need to send the same message to several other users. To achieve such one-to-many or many-to-many communication eeciently in wide-area internetworks, it is imperative to support mul-ticast, i.e., concurrent sending of messages from one source to multiple receivers. The current IP architecture for multicast rout...

In recent years, a variety of unicast and multicast routing protocols for Mobile Ad hoc wireless NETworks (MANETs) have been developed. The Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) is a hybrid unicast protocol that proactively maintains routing information for a local neighborhood (routing zone), while reactively acquiring routes to destinations beyond the routing zone. In this paper, we extend ZRP for appl...

The connectivity-based reliable multicast MAC protocol was proposed for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs and the formulae for the lower bounds of the multicast downlink throughput and the uplink throughput of the connectivitybased reliable multicast MAC protocol were derived in our previous study. We provide the tighter throughput lower bounds of the connectivity-based reliable multicast MAC protocol ...
