i-QCA: An intelligent framework for quality of service multicast routingn in multichannel multiradio wireless mesh networks

摘要

Multicast routing has brought a revolution by enabling the delivery of the same content to a group of receivers simultaneously. However, multicast routing in multichannel multiradio wireless mesh networks has been proved to be an NP-hard problem. To achieve optimal performance in multichannel multiradio wireless mesh networks the channel assignment strategy plays an important role. In this paper, we present an intelligent Quality of service multicast routing and Channel Assignment (i-QCA) algori
