We study the problem of controlling data overhead of mesh-based multicast ad hoc routing protocols by adaptively adding redundancy to the minimal data overhead multicast mesh as required by the network conditions. We show that the computation of the minimal data overhead multicast mesh is NP-complete, and we propose an heuristic approximation algorithm inspired on epidemic algorithms. In addition, we propose a mobility-aware and adaptive mesh construction algorithm based on a probabilistic path selection being able to adapt the reliability of the multicast mesh to the mobility of the network. Our simulation results show that the proposed approach, when implemented into ODMRP, is able to offer similar performance results and a lower average latency while reducing data overhead between 25 to 50% compared to the original ODMRP.

In this paper, we study a problem that is concerning how to construct a delay-constrained multicast tree on a wireless mesh network (WMN) such that the number of serviced clients is maximized. In order to support high-quality and concurrent interference-free transmission streams, multiple radios are implemented in each mesh node in the WMNs. Instead of only orthogonal channels used for the multicast in the previous works, both orthogonal and partially overlapping channels are considered in this study. As a result, the number of links successfully allocated channels can be expected to be much larger than that of the approaches in which only orthogonal channels are considered. The number of serviced subscribers is then increased dramatically. Hence, the goal of this study is to find interference-free and delay-constrained multicast trees that can lead to the maximal number of serviced subscribers. This problem is referred as the MRDCM problem. Two heuristics, load-based greedy algorithm and load-based MCM algorithm, are developed for constructing multicast trees. Furthermore, two load-based channel assignment procedures are provided to allocate interference-free channels to the multicast trees. A set of experiments is designed to do performance, delay and efficiency comparisons for the multicast trees generated by all the approximation algorithms proposed in this study.

Given a video stream delivering system deployed on a multicast tree, which is embedded in a multi-channel multi-radio wireless mesh network, our problem is concerned about how to allocate interference-free channels to tree links and maximize the number of serviced mesh clients at the same time. In this paper, we propose a channel allocation heuristic algorithm based on best-first search and backtracking techniques. The experimental results show that our BFB based CA algorithm outperforms previous methods such as DFS and BFS based CA methods. This superiority is due to the backtracking technique used in BFB approach. It allows previous channel-allocated links to have feasibility to select the other eligible channels when no conflict-free channel can be found for the current link during the CA process. In addition to that, we also propose a tree refinement method to enhance the quality of channel-allocated trees by adding uncovered destinations at the cost of deletion of some covered destinations. Our aim of this refinement is to increase the number of serviced mesh clients. According to our simulation results, it is proved to be an effective method for improving multicast trees produced by BFB, BFS and DFS CA algorithms.

본 논문에서는 에드 혹 망을 위한 메쉬 기반의 새로운 멀티캐스트 라우팅 프로토콜인 HMMRP (Hierarchical Mesh-based Multicast Routing Protocol)를 제안한다. HMMRP는 송신원 중 일부를 코어 송신원으로 두고 타 송신원들이 코어 송신원 중 하나에 반드시 연결되도록 한다. 그리고 송신원별 트리의 합집합으로 구성되는 메쉬에 의해 송신원과 수신원이 연결되도록 한다. HMMRP는 이들 연결 경로 상의 노드들로써 데이타 전달 메쉬를 형성하고 이를 정기적으로 재구성한다. 특히, 일반 송신원으로부터 코어 송신원에 이르는 경로와 코어 송신원으로부터 수신원에 이르는 트리에 해당하는 메쉬에 대해서는 정기적인 재구성 기간보다 훨씬 짧은 기간마다 국부적으로 메쉬 단절 가능성을 감시하고 복구하도록 함으로써, 임의의 송신원 수신원간에 최소한 송신원 코어 수신원을 경유하는 메쉬를 통해 데이타를 전달할 수 있도록 한다. 이렇게 함으로써 이동성이 높은 에드 혹 네트워크일지라도 정기적인 메쉬 재구성 기간을 짧게 잡지 않고 높은 데이타 전달율을 제공할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 분석 결과，HMMRP는 이동성에 대한 성능저하가 상대적으로 적으며, 특히 멀티캐스트 그룹의 규모가 커질수록 이동성에 대한 성능저하가 더욱 경미해짐을 알 수 있었다.

멀티캐스트는 중요한 시스템 레벨의 그룹 프로세스들을 수반하는 통신 서비스의 한 클래스이다. 소프트웨어 멀티캐스트 알고리즘을 설계하는데 있어서의 주된 문제는 성능과 이식성 사이의 교환조건(trade-off)을 고려하는 것이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 변수화 된 통신 모델은 LogP 모델의 확장으로 병렬 플랫폼의 통신 네트워크를 더 정확하게 특성화 할 수 있다. 이 변수화 된 모델에서, 컴퓨터 구조에 의존적이지 않고 이식성 있는 OPT-tree라는 최적의 멀티캐스트를 형성하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실제 여러 네트워크에 구현했을 때 진정한 최적의 수행을 달성하기 위해서 OPT-tree로 생성된 트리에서의 네트워크 위상에 따른 튜닝(tuning)에 대해 연구한다. 특히 웜홀 스위치를 사용하는 메쉬(mesh) 네트워크에서 변수화 된 멀티캐스트 알고리즘의 최적화 한 버전인 OPT-mesh 알고리즘을 개발하여 다른 알고리즘들과 비교하여 그 우수성을 검증한다.

Multicast Mesh based Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) provide efficient data transmission in energy restraint areas without a fixed infrastructure. In this paper, the authors present an improved version of protocol SLIMMER developed by them earlier, and name it SLIMMER-SN. Most mesh-based protocols suffer from redundancy; however, the proposed protocol controls redundancy through the concept of forwarding nodes. The proposed protocol uses remaining energy of a node to decide its energy efficiency. For measuring stability, a new metric called Stability of Node (SN) has been introduced which depends on transmission range, node density and node velocity. For data transfer, a weighted cost function selects the most energy efficient nodes / most stable nodes or a weighted combination of both. This makes the node selection criteria more dynamic. The protocol works in two steps: (1) calculating SN and (2) using SN value in the weighted cost function for selection of nodes. The study compared the proposed protocol, with other mesh-based protocols PUMA and SLIMMER, based on packet delivery ratio (PDR), throughput, end-to-end delay and average energy consumption under different simulation conditions. Results clearly demonstrate that SLIMMER-SN outperformed both PUMA and SLIMMER.

This paper investigates the problem of protecting multicast sessions in mesh wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks against single link failures, for example, a fiber cut in optical networks. First, we study the two characteristics of multicast sessions in mesh WDM networks with sparse light splitter configuration. Traditionally, a multicast tree does not contain any circles, and the first characteristic is that a multicast tree has better performance if it contains some circles. Note that a multicast tree has several branches. If a path is added between the leave nodes on different branches, the segment between them on the multicast tree is protected. Based the two characteristics, the survivable multicast sessions routing problem is formulated into an Integer Linear Programming (ILP). Then, a heuristic algorithm, named the adaptive shared segment protection (ASSP) algorithm, is proposed for multicast sessions. The ASSP algorithm need not previously identify the segments for a multicast tree. The segments are determined during the algorithm process. Comparisons are made between the ASSP and two other reported schemes, link disjoint trees (LDT) and shared disjoint paths (SDP), in terms of blocking probability and resource cost on CERNET and USNET topologies. Simulations show that the ASSP algorithm has better performance than other existing schemes.

Multicasting is an efficient means of one to many (or many to many) communications. Due to the frequent and unpredictable topology changes, multicast still remains as challenge and no one-size-fits-all protocol could serve all kinds of needs in ad hoc network. Protocols and approaches currently proposed on this issue could be classified mainly into four categories, tree-based, meshed-based, statelessness and hybrid. In this article, we borrow the concept of Eulerian ring in graph theory and propose a novel ring-based multicast framework--Hierarchical Eulerian Ring-Oriented Multicast Architecture (HEROMA) over wireless mobile Ad hoc network. It is familiar with hybrid protocol based on mesh and tree who concentrates on efficiency and robustness simultaneously. Architecture and recovery algorithm of HEROMA are investigated in details. Simulation result is also presented, which show different level of improvements on end-to-end delay in scenario of small scale.

본 논문에서 우리는 모바일 ad-hoc 네트워크를 위한 이동성을 사용하는 클러스터 기반의 멀티캐스트 라우팅(CMR: Cluster-based Multicast Routing) 방법을 제안한다. CMR의 주요한 특징은 다음처럼 요약 된다. a) 이동성 기반 클러스터링과 효과적으로 안정성과 확장성을 지원하기 위한 그룹 기반의 계층적 구조, b) 토폴로지의 견고함과 전송의 효율성을 동시에 지원하기 위한 그룹 기반의 메쉬 구조와 전송 트리 개념, c) 사전 결정적 기술들의 낮은 경로 수행 지연과 요구기반 방법의 낮은 오버헤드를 제공하는 개념의 조합. CM의 성능평가는 모델렇과 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이루어진다. 멀티캐스트 라우팅 프로토콜의 효율성 측정은 노드의 이동성, 멀티캐스트 그룹 사이즈, 송신자 노드 수 등의 함수로써 패킷 전송률, 확장성, 제어 오버헤드, 소스와 목적지 노드 사이의 시간 지연 등의 파라미터들을 사용한다.

Detecting environmental hazards and monitoring remote terrain are among many sensor network applications. In case of fire detection, it is significantly valuable to monitor fire-spot's shape and trend in time. Mobile ad hoc sensor nodes right round are responsible for sensoring, processing and networking packets, or even launching extinguisher. In this paper, we proposed a ring-oriented Multicast architecture based on "Fisheye State Routing" (MFSR) to organize a group of mobile ad hoc sensor nodes in a multicast way. It is familiar with traditional mesh-based multicast protocol [1] in mobile ad hoc network, trying to concentrates on efficiency and robustness simultaneously. Certain applications-based solution for hazards is proposed, quantitative results including architecture and recovery algorithms of MFSR are also investigated in this paper.
