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，因为它不需要任何固定基础设施的预先投资。与此同时，群计算的普及也在迅速增长。多播是支持面向组的应用程序的一种非常有用和有效的方法，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，将这两种技术结合起来还需要做更多的工作。我们的研究重点是移动自组织网络中的可靠组播，这对于军事或救灾无线组播应用至关重要。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保证所有组成员端到端都能发送不可靠的组播数据包。此外，应对节点运动的机制也是必不可少的。结合FEC/ARQ混合方案和机动性预测辅助动态组播路由算法进行了研究。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研究。规范、验证、数学分析、仿真和试验台实验是任何协议实现的五个阶段。

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.
