A receiver-initiated soft-state probabilistic multicasting protocol in wireless ad hoc networks
A novel Receiver-Initiated Soft-State Probabilistic multicasting protocol (RISP) for mobile ad hoc network is proposed in this paper. RISP introduces probabilistic forwarding and soft-state for making relay decisions. Multicast members periodically initiate control packets, through which intermediate nodes adjust the forwarding probability. With a probability decay function (soft-state), routes traversed by more control packets are reinforced, while the less utilized paths are gradually relinquished. In this way, RISP can adapt to node mobility: at low mobility, RISP performs similar to a tree-based protocol; at high mobility, it produces a multicast mesh in the network. Simulation results show RISP has lower delivery redundancy than meshbased protocols, while achieving higher delivery ratio. Further, the control overhead is lower than other compared protocols. © 2005 IEEE.published_or_final_versio

Mesh based and Hybrid Multicast routing protocols for MANETs: Current State of the art
This paper discusses various multicast routing protocols which are proposed in the recent past each having its own unique characteristic, with a motive of providing a complete understanding of these multicast routing protocols and present the scope of future research in this field. Further, the paper specifically discusses the current development in the development of mesh based and hybrid multicasting routing protocols. The study of this paper addresses the solution of most difficult task in Multicast routing protocols for MANETs under host mobility which causes multi-hop routing which is even more severe with bandwidth limitations. The Multicast routing plays a substantial part in MANETs
A New Approach to Coding in Content Based MANETs
In content-based mobile ad hoc networks (CB-MANETs), random linear network
coding (NC) can be used to reliably disseminate large files under intermittent
connectivity. Conventional NC involves random unrestricted coding at
intermediate nodes. This however is vulnerable to pollution attacks. To avoid
attacks, a brute force approach is to restrict the mixing at the source.
However, source restricted NC generally reduces the robustness of the code in
the face of errors, losses and mobility induced intermittence. CB-MANETs
introduce a new option. Caching is common in CB MANETs and a fully reassembled
cached file can be viewed as a new source. Thus, NC packets can be mixed at all
sources (including the originator and the intermediate caches) yet still
providing protection from pollution. The hypothesis we wish to test in this
paper is whether in CB-MANETs with sufficient caches of a file, the performance
(in terms of robustness) of the restricted coding equals that of unrestricted
coding.
In this paper, we examine and compare unrestricted coding to full cache
coding, source only coding, and no coding. As expected, we find that full cache
coding remains competitive with unrestricted coding while maintaining full
protection against pollution attacks
A survey of flooding, gossip routing, and related schemes for wireless multi- hop networks
Flooding is an essential and critical service in computer networks that is
used by many routing protocols to send packets from a source to all nodes in
the network. As the packets are forwarded once by each receiving node, many
copies of the same packet traverse the network which leads to high redundancy
and unnecessary usage of the sparse capacity of the transmission medium.
Gossip routing is a well-known approach to improve the flooding in wireless
multi-hop networks. Each node has a forwarding probability p that is either
statically per-configured or determined by information that is available at
runtime, e.g, the node degree. When a packet is received, the node selects a
random number r. If the number r is below p, the packet is forwarded and
otherwise, in the most simple gossip routing protocol, dropped. With this
approach the redundancy can be reduced while at the same time the reachability
is preserved if the value of the parameter p (and others) is chosen with
consideration of the network topology. This technical report gives an overview
of the relevant publications in the research domain of gossip routing and
gives an insight in the improvements that can be achieved. We discuss the
simulation setups and results of gossip routing protocols as well as further
improved flooding schemes. The three most important metrics in this
application domain are elaborated: reachability, redundancy, and management
overhead. The published studies used simulation environments for their
research and thus the assumptions, models, and parameters of the simulations
are discussed and the feasibility of an application for real world wireless
networks are highlighted. Wireless mesh networks based on IEEE 802.11 are the
focus of this survey but publications about other network types and
technologies are also included. As percolation theory, epidemiological models,
and delay tolerant networks are often referred as foundation, inspiration, or
application of gossip routing in wireless networks, a brief introduction to
each research domain is included and the applicability of the particular
models for the gossip routing is discussed
Review of multicast QoS routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks
A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is consisting of a
collection of wireless mobile nodes, which form a temporary
network without relying on any existing infrastructure or
centralized administration. Since the bandwidth of MANETs is
limited and shared between the participating nodes in the
network, it is important to efficiently utilize the network
bandwidth. Multicasting can minimize the link bandwidth
consumption and reduce the communication cost by sending the
same data to multiple participants. Multicast service is critical for
applications that need collaboration of team of users.
Multicasting in MANETs becomes a hot research area due to the
increasing popularity of group communication applications such
as video conferencing and interactive television. Recently,
multimedia and group-oriented computing gains more popularity
for users of ad hoc networks. So, effective Quality of Service
(QoS) multicasting protocol plays significant role in MANETs.
In this paper, we are presenting an overview of set of the most
recent QoS multicast routing protocols that have been proposed
in order to provide the researchers with a clear view of what has
been done in this field
