A Hybrid Reliable Data Transmission based on Ant-agent Resource Allocation Technique in EEMCC Protocol for MANETS

Real time multicast applications in mobile adhoc network brings forward added advantages in wireless network. The fragile and mobile environment of adhoc network produces the need of bandwidth allocation for real time applications. Reliability is also an important factor in multicasting in mobile adhoc networks (MANETs), as it confirms eventual delivery of all the data to all the group members, without enforcing any particular delivery order in EEMCCP. In the first phase of this paper, we design an "ant agent-resource allocation‟ technique for reserving bandwidth for real-time multicast applications. In the forward phase, the source sends a forward ant agent which collects the bandwidth information of intermediate nodes and reserves a bandwidth for real-time flow for each multicast receiver. In the backward phase, the backward ant confirms the allocation and feeds the bandwidth information to the source
