When the legacy multicast routing protocols are adopted in If-based mobile core networks, there are some problems such as traffic injection from unnecessary sources, traffic overhead by group management and router performance degradation by large amount of multicast session information. In this paper, we propose a stateless multicast mechanism which has no need to maintain multicast information for session status and reduces redundant network overhead for maintaining multicast tree. In addition interworking with IGMPv3 gets rid of traffic from unnecessary sources which have no registration from receivers. The operations of essential components including a gateway node for interworking with the legacy Internet multicast network, a gateway node for transparency to radio access network and a intermediate node in mobile core networks, are definitely defined and the proposed communication architecture is completed. Finally we evaluate and approve the performance of the proposed architecture by means of well-designed network simulation.

Whereas the traditional multicast schemes based on Mobile IP can support a limited number of very large multicast groups, the Xcast protocol can support a very large number of small multicast groups, In the Xcast, the source node encodes the list of destinations in the Xcast header. Therefore, the maximum packet size in the network limits the number of destinations that a Xcast packet may have. In this paper, an enhanced Xcast protocol is proposed to solve the multicast group size limitation of the existing Xcast protocol in providing multicast service for mobile nodes. Moreover, the SIP (a very flexible control plane protocol) is integrated with the proposed multicast scheme to provide mobility awareness on the application layer. The simulation results verify that the proposed multicast scheme not only increases the packet delivery ratio and the data packet forwarding efficiency but also achieves low latency of packets in the network.

Recently, as the use of mobile terminal is generalized, the needs of high-speed Internet mobile service is increased. Also users want to receive the multimedia contents what they want through the various terminals in anywhere, anytime via wired and wireless integrated environment. Therefore, various mechanisms that support the mobility are proposed. However, these mechanisms are difficult to support seamless mobility and QoS awareness on the mobile multicast environment. In this paper, we propose a QoS aware handover mechanism that is able to provide the high-quality and real-time services such as mobile IPTV in an integrated environment for these requests of users. Proposed mechanism manages the multicast admission control and multicast handover using the 2-layer multicast information management at the wired and wireless integrated network that extended the service guaranteed methods through the probing based admission control of the wired network to the wireless network based on PMIPv6. We present a performance evaluation results and features analyzed by the simulations using the ㎱-2.

This paper identifies the main features and problems which have to be considerde when providing multicast services for mobile hosts.We also present a schme for solving these problems.To do this,we intreduce the ieda of the group view with a host status and present a multicast algorithm based on the group view concept.This paper mainly fouces on the exactly-once semantic for multicast delivery.It will provide basis for build-ing multicast servies for mobile hosts.

A new multicast scheme for mobile nodes is proposed to support real-time communication in a more efficient way. In the proposed multicast scheme, the Explicit multicast (Xcast) is integrated with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The proposed scheme reduces unnecessary network traffic and achieves low latency of packets in the network.

In this paper, we present a scheme for the improving reliable transport and the efficient multicast support in mobile environment. The proposed scheme solves a problem of TCP layer resulted from mobility by using a Representative FA. RFA has a mechanism like a snoop module which has a cache and can provide retransmission of a multicast packet lost and solve the rock implosion problem. Also, we present an additional IGMP message. By using it, We can remove a delay for IGMP query cycle and serve a multicast service more promptly.

Recent researches of network structure are moving to high-level networks because there are already many research results of low-level network. Especially, current network services has been changed to the multimedia service using multicast routing such as IPTV(Internet Protocol Television) service. And then previous multicast services were provider oriented. So previous multicast structures were organized server/client model. But future multicast services will make user oriented services. Therefore there will be many service providers in the future. At this point, we study P2P network for supporting multi provider. So we research load balancing and contents lookup protocols in P2P network. In this paper, we propose network protocol and system based on super peer P2P for load balancing and efficiently service search. And we considered mobile environment for mobile IPTV.

This paper proposes a new solution to support Internet Multicast for mobile hosts. The proposed algorithm is based on the remote subscription approach of IETF Mobile IP that mobile node re-subscribes to its desired multicast groups while at a foreign network. In addition, we adopt the bi-directional tunneling to minimize the disruption of multicast service due to movement of a host from network to another. This paper also analyzes the handoff latencies and data packet loss amount of our algorithm and compares to other approaches. Our analysis shows that the proposed algorithm has good robustness, scalability and routing efficiency.

In mobile ad hoc networks, an application scenario requires mostly collaborative mobility behavior. The key problem of those applications is scalability with regard to the number of multicast members as well as the number of the multicast group. To enhance scalability with group mobility, we have proposed a multicast protocol based on a new framework for hierarchical multicasting that is suitable for the group mobility model in MANET. The key design goal of this protocol is to solve the problem of reflecting the node's mobility in the overlay multicast tree, the efficient data delivery within the sub-group with group mobility support, and the scalability problem for the large multicast group size. The results obtained through simulations show that our approach supports scalability and efficient data transmission utilizing the characteristic of group mobility.

In mobile ad hoc networks, an application scenario requires mostly group mobility behavior in the mix of group moving nodes and individually moving nodes. The nodes of those applications tend to belong to the movement group with similar movement behavior. Group mobility is one of the good methods to improve scalability, and reduces the protocol overhead. In this paper, we propose the multicast architecture which regards nodes that have equal group mobility in the heterogeneous group mobility network as the single entity with the multiple interfaces and composes multicast tree, The logical cooperative entity-based multicast architecture accommodates the scalability, the multicast tree simplification, and the protocol overhead reduction which arc obtained from the hierarchical multicast architecture, while it maintains the nat multicast architecture for the data transmission. It also prevents the concentration of the energy consumption dispersing data forwarding load into the several ingress/egress nodes. Results obtained through simulations show that logical cooperative entity based multicast protocol with multiple interfaces offers the protocol scalability and the efficient data transmission.
