Localising multicast using application predicates

In this paper, we investigate how to incorporate an application metric into the construction of a multicast tree so as to facilitate the use of range constrained multicast. We first describe the construction and delivery protocols, show through an analysis drawing on stochastic geometry that the protocol is scalable, and provide simulations showing the performance of the protocol against trees derived from reverse path forwarding construction.
