A (secure) reliable multicast protocol enables a process to multicast a message to a group of processes in a way that ensures that all honest destination-group members receive the same message, even if some group members and the multicast initiator are maliciously faulty. Reliable multicast has been shown to be useful for building multiparty cryptographic protocols and secure distributed servic...

While the advantages of multicast delivery over multiple unicast deliveries is undeniable, the deployment of the IP multicast protocol has been limited to “islands” of network domains under single administrative control. Deployment of inter-domain multicast delivery has been slow due to both technical and administrative reasons. In this paper we propose a Host Multicast Tree Protocol (HMTP) tha...

The advent of ubiquitous computing and the proliferation of portable computing devices have raised the importance of mobile ad-hoc network. A major challenge lies in adapting multicast communication into such environments where mobility and link failures are inevitable. The purpose of this paper is to study impact of mobility models in performance of multicast routing protocols in MANET. In thi...

In this paper we propose an explicit multicast routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Explicit multicasting differs from common approaches by listing destination addresses in data packet headers. Using the explicit destination information, the multicast routing protocol can avoid the overhead of employing its own route construction and maintenance mechanisms by taking advantage o...

In the age of multimedia and high-speed networks, multicast is one of the mechanisms by which the power of the Internet can be further harnessed in an efficient manner. When more than one receiver is interested in receiving a transmission from a single or a set of senders, multicast is the most efficient and viable mechanism. In the protocol stack of the network, multicast is best implemented i...

We have applied the concept of truncated exponential timers for efficient reliable multicast feedback suppression for cases of both multicast and unicast feedback channels. Unicast feedback operation for multicast transport is becoming a more prevalent concern with the advent of source specific multicast routing and asymmetric networks offering forward-based multicast (e.g., satellite distribut...

Power-efficient multicast routing is just one of the essential issues in the subject of mobile ad hoc networks. Multicasting is actually a phrase which means delivering data packets to several mobile nodes from an projected source. Worth of Support enlarges the assistance degree of expected performance for community systems. This research work centers around intend and progress strategy of QoS ...

In wireless ad hoc networks, many multicast routing protocols are proposed such as ODMRP, MAODV, etc. In general, the IEEE 802.11 standard is assumed as a MAC protocol in those protocol and multicast data packets are transmitted at the basic transmission rate which is 2Mbps at the IEEE 802.11 or 802.11b. However, if the multicast packet can be transmitted at higher transmission rates than 2Mbps...

This paper addresses the issue of improving multicast packet delivery in mobile ad hoc networks and proposes an adaptive mechanism called Protocol-Independent Packet Delivery Improvement Service (PIDIS) to recover lost multicast packets. PIDIS provides its packet-delivery improvement services to any multicast routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks by exploiting the mechanism of swarm intel...
