본 논문에서는 멀티캐스트 패킷 재전송을 담당하는 기능을 기지국에 탑재하여 신뢰성있는 멀티캐스트 전송 프로토콜인 Scalable Multicast Protocol 성능을 개선하고자 한다. 유무선 통합망에서 Scalable Multicast Protocol 동작시, 무선 네트워크에서의 비트 에러나 단말의 이동성으로 패킷 재전송이 많이 발생한다. 이런 재전송 때문에 Scalable Multicast Protocol의 그룹에 제어 메시지 및 재전송 메시지가 증가하게 되며, 이는 또한 Scalable Multicast Protocol 세션 전체 성능을 저하시킨다. 본 논문은 기지국에 무선 환경에 있는 단말의 복구 요구 메시지에 대한 복구 메시지 전송을 담당하는 기능을 추가하여 전체 세션의 성능을 높이고자 한다. ARENA를 이용하여 제안한 방법이 멀티캐스트 세션에의 복구 요구 및 복구 메시지의 수를 줄일 수 있고 멀티캐스트 그룹 세션 전체의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 검증하였다.

In view of the past, the mobility of the multicast source in the mobility networks is seldom discussed in the traditional multicast protocols. It is a heavy cost for the traditional multicast protocols to reconstruct the multicast tree in the Network Mobility (NEMO) environment. This article proposes an alternative multicast protocol, referred to as Mobility-Sensitive Multicast protocol (MSM), for the NEMO environment. The MSM can be considered as an alternative version of the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol to maintain the multicast tree in the NEMO. There are two obvious contributions for the MSM. Reconstruct mechanism could rebuild the multicast tree for the mobility of the multicast source. Multi-group suppression mechanism reduce the multicast tree maintaining cost for the mobility of the multicast members. Through the performance evaluations and analyses, the MSM has less cost to maintain the multicast tree than the traditional multicast protocols, especially for a large numbers of multicast groups. Moreover, the MSM allows the mobility of the multicast source to reconstruct the multicast tree easily.

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.

In this paper, we propose a multicast routing protocol for the seamless delivery of multicast data to mobile hosts through the optimal route in IP based mobile networks. The proposed multicast routing protocol is a hybrid method employing the merits of the bi-directional tunneling and the remote subscription by considering the mobility of mobile hosts. The proposed protocol satisfies the bound of end-to-end delay and supports the seamless handoff. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol has better performance in the number of multicast tree reconstruction and tunneling length and packet loss time than the previous protocols.

The reliable multicast MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol is needed to guarantee the recipients' nonerroneous reception of the multicast data frames, which can be transmitted by the AP (Access Point) in infrastructure mode IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs. Enhancing the BMMM (Batch Mode Multicast MAC) protocol, in the literature, the connectivity-based reliable multicast MAC protocol was proposed to reduce the RAK (Request for ACKnowledgement) frame transmissions and enhance the multicast MAC performance. However, the number of necessary RAK frame transmissions increases as the number of multicast recipients increases. To alleviate the problem of the larger number of RAK frame transmissions with the larger number of multicast recipients, we propose the clustering algorithm for partitioning the recipients into a small number of clusters, so that the recipients are connected each other within the same clusters. Numerical examples are presented to show the reliable multicast MAC performance improvement by the clustering algorithm.

IPTV broadcast channels and video content distribution are increasingly saturating network paths. New solutions based on inter-domain multicast protocols could contribute to the enhancement of multimedia content distribution over the Internet. The aim of this paper is to propose new capabilities for an existing inter-domain multicast protocol, the Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode. We describe the modified protocol and analyze its behavior using newly developed tools based on an open-source software simulator. The resulting protocol does not require topology information, which is advantageous for easier deployment. In addition, the adopted solution avoids inherent problems with inter-domain multicast routing, such as multiple paths and path asymmetries.

Compared with unicast, multicast over wireless ad-hoc networks do not support reliability due to their inability to exchange request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) and ACK packets with multiple recipients. Although several media access control (MAC) layer protocols have been proposed to provide reliable multicast, these introduce additional overhead, which degrades system performance. A novel MAC protocol for reliable wireless multicast is proposed in this paper. By adapting orthogonal frequency division multiple access characteristics in CTS and ACK packets, the protocol achieves reliability over wireless multicast with minimized overhead.

멀티캐스트 기술을 인터넷과 같은 거대한 네트워크에 적용하기 위해서는 멀티캐스트 데이터그램을 수신자 그룹에게 효율적이고 신뢰성있게 전달하는 것이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 IETF를 중심으로 연구중인 RMT프로토콜의 취약점을 제시하고 망의 혼잡으로 인해 재전송이 발생하는 경우 이를 개선하기 위해 구성요소의 기능을 재 설계함으로써 라우터에서 복구 및 재전송 처리를 할 수 있는 신뢰적 멀티캐스트 프로토콜을 설계하고 구현 및 평가하였다. 손실을 겪은 수신자가 보낸 재전송 요청을 지역으로 제한하고 멀티캐스트 라우터를 통해 손실을 복구하도록 하여 NACK신호와 재전송이 전역 멀티캐스트 그룹으로 폭주하는 것을 방지하였다. 멀티캐스트 라우터에 버퍼링 기능을 가지도록 하여 재전송 요청시 이를 포워딩함으로써 재전송에 따른 지연 시간을 기존의 복구 방식보다 감소시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 이와 같은 기능에 적합한 신뢰적 멀티캐스트 프로토콜의 메시지와 동작절차를 설계하였으며, 이를 토대로 제안한 멀티캐스트 프로토콜을 유닉스 환경에서 C 언어를 사용하여 구현하고 시험하여 기존의 방식보다 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

Recently, multicast routing protocols become increasingly important aspect in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), as they effectively manage group communications. Meanwhile, multimedia and real-time applications are becoming essential need for users of MANET. Thus it is necessary to design efficient and effective Quality of Service (QoS) multicast routing strategies. In this paper, we address the scalability problem of multicast routing protocols to support QoS over MANETs. In particular, we introduce a Position-Based QoS Multicast Routing Protocol (PBQMRP). Basically, the protocol based on dividing the network area into virtual hexagonal cells. Then, the location information is exploited to perform efficient and scalable route discovery. In comparison with other existing QoS multicast routing protocols, PBQMRP incurs less control packets by eliminating network flooding behavior. Through simulation, the efficiency and scalability of PBQMRP are evaluated and compared with the well-known On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP). Simulation results justify that our protocol has better performance, less control overhead and higher scalability.

With the prevalence of multimedia applications and the potential commercial usage of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) in group communications, Quality of Service (QoS) support became a key requirement. Recently, some researchers studied QoS multicast issues in MANETs. Most of the existing QoS multicast routing protocols are designed with flat topology and small networks in mind. In this paper, we investigate the scalability problem of these routing protocols. In particular, a Position-Based QoS Multicast Routing Protocol (PBQMRP) has been developed. PBQMRP builds a source multicast tree guided by the geographic information of the mobile nodes, which helps in achieving more efficient multicast delivery. This protocol depends on the location information of the multicast members which is obtained using a location service algorithm. A virtual backbone structure has been proposed to perform this location service with minimum overhead and this structure is utilized to provide efficient packet transmissions in a dynamic mobile Ad hoc network environment. The performance of PBQMRP is evaluated by performing both quantitative analysis and extensive simulations. The results show that the used virtual clustering is very useful in improving scalability and outperforms other clustering schemes. Compared to On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP), PBQMRP achieves competing packet delivery ratio and significantly lower control overhead.
