Abstract:
Multicast is an important building block for many applications in MANETs, including data dissemination, service discovery, publish-subscribe, among others. Therefore, it has been widely studied and many solutions can be found in the literature. However, most existing multicast protocols are tailored to a specific type of mobility pattern and therefore are unable to excel in face of heterogeneous topology stability conditions. This paper proposes and evaluates TSAMP, a Topology Stability-Aware Multicast Protocol for MANETs that exploits locally perceived mobility conditions in order to promote the use of stable routes, when available.
