Group oriented multicast applications are becoming increasingly popular in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Due to dynamic topology of MANETs, stateless multicast protocols are finding increased acceptance since they do not require maintenance of state information at intermediate nodes. Recently, several multicast schemes have been proposed which scale better' with the number of multicast sessions than traditional multicast strategies. These schemes are also known as explicit multicast (Xcast; explicit list of destinations in the packet header) or small group multicast (SGM). In this paper, we propose a new scheme for small group' multicast in MANETs named extended explicit multicast (E2M), which is implemented on top of Xcast and introduces mechanisms to make it scalable with number of group members for a given multicast session. Unlike other schemes, E2M does not make any assumptions related to network topology or node location. It is based on the novel concept of dynamic selection of Xcast forwarders (XFs) between a source and its potential destinations. The XF selection is based on group membership and the processing overhead involved in supporting the Xcast protocol at a given node. If the number of members in a given session is small, E2M behaves just like the basic Xcast scheme with no intermediate XFs. As group membership increases, nodes may dynamically decide to become an XF. This scheme, which can work with few E2M aware nodes in the network, provides transparency of stateless multicast, reduces header processing overhead, minimizes Xcast control traffic, and makes Xcast scalable with the number of group members.

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.

Recently, some applications require the multicast service that transmit messages to multiple destinations in computer communication network enviroment. Multicast service is to send messages to the group which consists of a number of processes. A multicast group is a collection of processes which are destinations of the transmitted messages and these processes may run on one or more hosts. Therefore, it is important to manage each member of process groups in order to provide efficient multicast services. In this paper, we design and implement group management system to support multicast services. Group Management System was designed with Process Group Management System(PGMS) and Host Group Management System(HGMS). We have implemented basic primitives of PGMS, HGMS. Also, membership tree management algorithm is designed and implemented. Membership tree provides the relation of the members of multicast groups and routing Informations.

The mutual cooperation among nodes is very important because mobile nodes participating in MANET communicate with limited resources and wireless environment. This characteristic is important especially in environment that supports group communication. In order to support the secure multicast environment, it is important enough to affect performance to provide accurate authentication method for multicast group members and increase the integrity of transmitted data. Therefore, we propose a technique to provide the multicast secure communication by providing efficient authentication and group key management for multicast member nodes in this paper. The cluster structure is used for authentication of nodes in the proposed technique. In order to efficient authentication of nodes, the reliability is measured using a combination of local trust information and global trust information measured by neighboring nodes. And issuing process of the group key has two steps. The issued security group key increases the integrity of the transmitted data. The superiority of the proposed technique was confirmed by comparative experiments.

개별적으로 이동하는 노드들과 그룹으로 이동하는 노드들로 함께 구성된 애드 혹 네트워크에서 멀티케스트 어플리케이션을 수행하는 노드들은 비슷한 이동 특성을 갖는 그룹에 속하는 경우가 많다. 그룹 이동성은 확장성을 향상시키고, 프로토콜 오버헤드를 줄이는 좋은 방법 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 이질적 그룹 이동성을 갖는 네트워크에서 동일한 그룹 이동성을 갖는 노드들을 다중 인터페이스의 단일 개체로 간주하여 멀티캐스트 트리를 구성하는 멀티캐스트 구조를 제안한다. 논리적 협업 개제 기반 멀티캐스트 구조의 적용은 비계층적 멀티캐스트 구조를 유지하면서 계층적 멀티캐스트 구조로부터 얻을 수 있는 확장성, 멀티캐스트 트리 단순화, 프로토콜 오버헤드 감소 등을 수용하며, 임의의 노드가 입출력 인터페이스 역할을 함으로서 데이터 포워딩 부하를 여러 노드로 분산시켜 전력 소비의 집중현상을 막을 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 다중 인터페이스를 갖는 논리적 협업 개체 기반의 멀티캐스트 프로토콜이 효율적인 데이터 전송과 프로토콜의 확장성을 제공하는 것을 볼 수 있다.

The relation of multicast transmission and directional antennas is an open problem that has been debated for a long period of time. In this paper, we propose a group-aware multicast scheme of efficient multicast communication using the directional antennas for 60GHz millimeter wave wireless networks. For this purpose, we first derive the relation among beamwidth, distance between devices and most suitable data rate in the 60GHz frequency-based wireless network. In addition, for the dynamic beamforming of multicast communication, the x and y coordinates of any point with sender device at the center is generated, and a best-chosen group is deduced based on the Euclidean distance. Then the most suitable data rate for the group is obtained using the law of cosine. Using the Standard IEEE 802.11ad MAC protocol as an example, extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing multicast communication schemes with directional antennas under different situations.

Multicast communication can effectively reduce network resources consumption in contrast with unicast. With the advent of SDN, current researches on multicast traffic are mainly conducted in the SDN scenario, thus to mitigate the problems of IP multicast such as the unavoidable difficulty in traffic engineering and high security risk. However, migration to SDN cannot be achieved in one step, hybrid SDN emerges as a transitional networking form for ISP network. In hybrid SDN, for acquiring similar TE and security performance as in SDN multicast, we redirect every multicast traffic to an appropriate SDN node before reaching the destinations of the multicast group, thus to build up a core-based multicast tree substantially which is first introduced in CBT. Based on the core SDN node, it is possible to realize dynamic control over the routing paths to benefit traffic engineering (TE), while multicast traffic manageability can also be obtained, e.g., access control and middlebox-supported network services. On top of that, multiple core-based multicast trees are constructed for each multicast group by fully taking advantage of the routing flexibility of SDN nodes, in order to further enhance the TE performance. The multicast routing and splitting (MRS) algorithm is proposed whereby we jointly and efficiently determine an appropriate core SDN node for each group, as well as optimizing the traffic splitting fractions for the corresponding multiple core-based trees to minimize the maximum link utilization. We conduct simulations with different SDN deployment rate in real network topologies. The results indicate that, when 40% of the SDN switches are deployed in HSDN as well as calculating 2 trees for each group, HSDN multicast adopting MRS algorithm can obtain a comparable TE performance to SDN multicast.

In multiparty multimedia communication, each participant not only receives information from other participants but also generates real-time data streams to distribute to others and therefore the difference between source and destination is not clear in terms of data transmission. During a teleconference session, many sub-multicast trees may be generated to exchange information to specific members within the multicast group and if those sub-multicast trees use the same fixed multicast tree, the blocking probability will be high and it is hard to provide QoS for each sub-multicast group. Also, even though there exits some shortcuts between each sub-multicast group, fixed multicast tree does not allow to use those shortcuts. Thus to overcome these problems. We propose a network resource reservation protocol and show that its effectiveness in terms of blocking probability and network resources usage.

이 논문은 Explicit Multicast (Xcast) 방안에서 크기가 큰 밀집 멀티캐스트 그룹과 동적인 그룹 멤버쉽을 지원하는 방안을 제안한다. 이를 위해 도메인 에이전트가 호스트를 대신하여 그룹에 가입하는 계층적 가입 방법을 사용한다. 송신자가 먼저 도메인 에이전트에게 Xcast 패킷을 전송하면, 에이전트가 도메인에 있는 그룹 수신자에게 다시 전송한다. 그리고 호스트는 도메인 에이전트를 통해 언제든지 그룹에 조인하거나 탈퇴할 수 있다. 송신자가 전송하는 Xcast 헤더의 목적지 필드는 도메인 에이전트의 주소를 갖고, 도메인 에이전트가 전송하는 패킷의 목적지에는 도메인 안에 있는 수신자의 주소를 갖는다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 밀집 멀티캐스트 그룹에 대해서 Xcast 헤더 크기화 패킷을 전달하는데 드는 비용을 기존의 방법보다 훨씬 줄일 수 있음을 보인다. 이 방안의 장점은 큰 밀집 그룹에 대해 헤더 오버헤더와 라우터에서의 패킷 처리 시간을 줄이고 동적인 그룹 멤버쉽을 지원한다.

Currently, most IP multicasting applications are implemented based on Any-Source Multicast (ASM) model that supports many to many multicast services. However, it is known that current ASM-based multicast architecture has several deployment problems such as address allocation, lack of access control, and inefficient handling of well-known multicast sources. Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) working group in IETF proposed SSM architecture to overcome the weaknesses of ASM architecture. The architecture of SSM is based on one to many multicast services. Also, in order to provide SSM service, Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2) protocol should be supported. In this paper, we introduce the architecture of SSM protocol and multicast group management protocol. After that, we present the architecture and implementation of IPv6 SSM and MLDv2 protocols in Linux systems.
