Abstract
The provision of multicast communications in wireless and wired networks has followed different paths which have led to different solutions. Little has been accomplished to-date in bringing together the traditional IP multicast model used in fixed networks and multicast routing protocols for wireless ad hoc networks. We analyse the provision of an integrated IP multicast service in which mobile hosts can seamlessly participate in IP multicast sessions regardless of the currently underlying network type. We propose a multicast architecture in combination with a new ad hoc multicast routing protocol called MMARP. MMARP nodes are challenged with special IGMP-handling capabilities allowing our solution to combine the efficiency of multicast ad hoc routing protocols with the support of standard-IP nodes without an impairment in the performance of the protocol. Our empirical results demonstrate that such kind of multicast ad hoc access networks offer a good performance when compared with the traditional single-hop wireless multicast access.
