Abstract
Although it is raising expectation of multimedia multicast services in various wireless networks, it requires an efficient IP multicast group membership management in wireless environment. However, the existing IGMPv3/MLDv2 protocols are too heavy; they are not suitable for wireless environment. Moreover they suffer from a number of problems, such as unreliable signaling, slow state transition, low spectral efficiency, bulk report, and interrupting dormant receivers. In this paper, we propose a wireless host agent (WHA)-based IP multicast group management scheme that requires a reduced number of signaling, which also solves such problems effectively. We develop an analytic model to quantify costs of bandwidth usage and signaling overhead, and perform comparison and analysis of the proposed scheme.
