Designing of reliable and optimized multicast routing protocols in MANETS

摘要

A Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is self-possessed combination of mobile nodes. It has to be self-structured. The MANET has few specific goals. These are mobility extensions into wireless domain and autonomous mobile dominion. In this set of specified nodes that form adhoc network with routing infrastructure too. Multicasting is responsible for transferring information efficiently from a source to any destination; duplication of messages and delivery takes place only once and that too at the branch points, due to splitting of the destination links. The authors have successfully been able to address several issues relating to MANET, especially multicasting, its routing protocols and qualitative comparisons. Further, in this paper, authors propose optimized routing protocols with multicasting. It deals with receiver behavior, deployment considerations and routing mechanisms.
