HYBRID MULTICAST ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR MESH NETWORK PROVIDING COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL, CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING MULTICAST COMMUNICATIONS IN WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS

摘要

PURPOSE: A hybrid multicast routing protocol for wireless mesh networks is provided to supply short joining delay without wide network broadcast control packets.;CONSTITUTION: Each wireless station node maintains a multicast logical tree of a structure generating parent-child connection relation between nodes when each wireless station node can access to the local connection information for local nodes(32). The wireless station node participates to a multicast group of a network(34). Each group member or router transfers group member information and local connection information through message transmission between local nodes of the logical tree(35).;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
