Reliable multicast and related issues in mobile ad hoc networks

移动自组织网络(MANET)是一种经济的无线通信解决方案，因为它不需要对固定基础设施进行任何预先投资。与此同时，群体计算的普及度迅速增长。组播是支持面向组的应用的一种非常有用和有效的手段，特别是在带宽稀缺和设备功率有限的移动/无线环境中。然而，要将这两种技术结合在一起，还需要做更多的工作。我们的研究方案集中在移动自组网中的可靠组播，这对于军事或灾难救援无线组播应用是至关重要的。为了在移动自组网中获得可靠的组播，必须采用一种恢复方案来确保不可靠的组播分组被端到端地传递给所有的组成员。此外，处理节点移动的机制也是不可或缺的。结合混合FEC/ARQ方案和移动性预测辅助的动态多播路由算法进行研究。在考虑最小跳树(MHT)方法和考虑最大路由寿命的同时，将对多播路由协议的性质进行更多的工作。规范、验证、数学分析、模拟和试验台实验是任何协议实施的五个阶段。

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an economic solution for wireless communications, because it doesn't require any prior investment in fixed infrastructure. At the same time, the popularity of group computing has grown rapidly. Multicast is a very useful and efficient means of supporting group-oriented applications, especially in mobile/wireless environments where bandwidth is scarce and equipment has limited power. However, more work is needed to bring these two technologies together. Our research proposal focuses on reliable multicast in mobile ad hoc network, which is crucial to military or disaster rescue wireless multicast applications. To obtain reliable multicast in mobile ad hoc network, a recovery scheme must be employed to ensure end-to-end delivery of unreliable multicast packets for all group members. Moreover, mechanisms coping with node movements are also indispensable. A combined analysis with the hybrid FEC/ARQ scheme and the mobility prediction Aided Dynamic Multicast Routing algorithm will be investigated. More work will be undertaken on the nature of the multicast routing protocols while considering the Minimum Hop Tree (MHT) approach and taking into account the maximum route life. Specification, Validation, Mathematical Analysis, Simulation, and Testbed Experiment are the five stages in any implementation of a protocol.
