본 논문에서는 에드 혹 네트워크를 위한 메쉬 기반의 새로운 멀티캐스트 라우팅 프로토콜인 ADMRP(ADvanced mesh-based Multicast Routing Protocol)를 제안한다. ADMRP는 멀티캐스트 그룹의 송신원 중 일부를 코어 송신원으로 두고 다른 송신원이 코어 송신원 중 하나에 연결되도록 한다. 그리고 각 송신원에서 수신원에 이르는 트리들의 합집합으로 데이터 전달 메쉬를 형성하여 송신원과 수신원이 연결되도록 한다. 송신원과 코어 송신원을 연결하는 경로와 수신원과 코어 송신원을 연결하는 경로에 대해서는 국부적인 메쉬 단절을 감시하고 복구함으로써 항상 연결이 유지되도록 한다. 이렇게 함으로써 이동성이 높은 경우도 정기적인 메쉬 재구성 기간을 짧게 하지 않으면서 데이터 수신율을 높일 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 분석 결과, ADMRP는 이동성이 큰 경우에도 높은 데이터 전송율을 유지함을 보여주었다.

We propose a mesh based multicast routing protocol referred to as HMMRP for ad-hoc networks. In HMMRP, a limited number of sources are selected as core sources, and the rest of the sources of a multicast group are connected to one of those core sources. The sources and the receivers of a multicast group are also connected through per source trees. In HMMRP, the data delivery mesh of a multicast group are composed of the nodes on these paths, and are reconfigured at regular intervals. Furthermore, each mesh member that lies on the paths between the sources and the core sources as well as be-tween the core sources and the receivers keeps checking if there is a symptom of mesh separation around itself. When a mesh member finds such symptom, it tries to patch itself to the mesh with a local flooding. As a result, the part of the data delivery mesh on those paths are kept connected with a lot higher probability than the rest of the data delivery mesh. That is, for a certain source receiver pair, it is very likely that at least there exists a data delivery path that route from the source to a core source and then to the receiver. Therefore, HMMRP may provide very high data delivery ratio without frequent entire data delivery mesh reconfiguration even when the nodal mobility is high. Simulation results show that HMMRP shows relatively little performance degradation with respect to mobility. Furthermore, the performance degradation with respect to mobility is even smaller when the size of the multicast group becomes larger.

Most of the existing multicast routing protocols for ad-hoc networks do not take into account the efficiency of the protocol for the cases when there are large number of sources in the multicast group, resulting in either large overhead or poor data delivery ratio when the number of sources is large. In this paper, we propose a multicast routing protocol for ad-hoc networks, which particularly considers the scalability of the protocol in terms of the number of sources in the multicast groups. The proposed protocol designates a set of sources as the core sources. Each core source is a root of each tree that reaches all the destinations of the multicast group. The union of these trees constitutes the data delivery mesh, and each of the non-core sources finds the nearest core source in order to delegate its data delivery. For the efficient operation of the proposed protocol, it is important to have an appropriate number of core sources. Having too many of the core sources incurs excessive control and data packet overhead, whereas having too little of them results in a vulnerable and overloaded data delivery mesh. The data delivery mesh is optimally reconfigured through the periodic control message flooding from the core sources, whereas the connectivity of the mesh is maintained by a persistent local mesh recovery mechanism. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol achieves an efficient multicast communication with high data delivery ratio and low communication overhead compared with the other existing multicast routing protocols when there are multiple sources in the multicast group.
