In this paper, we present an architecture for supporting QoS multicast routing in mobile ad-hoc networks. The proposed architecture consists of three parts as follows. The first part is a mobility-based clustering as underlying structure for supporting stable multicast services. In the second part, a framework which can support and evaluate the stability of route and network for supporting QoS routing is presented. In the third part, we describe a method which uses two structures of the first and second parts for supporting QoS multicast routing services. The performance evaluation of our proposed architecture is accomplished via modeling and simulation using the Optimized Network Engineering tool(OPNET).

The interest for IPv6, which is next generation IP, increases, while the difficulty for adopting it into IT industries also increases too. We also expect that Internet technologies develop on basis of All-IP networks, which include various heterogeneous networks. Therefore, it is necessary for network to support mobility and multicast capability to create applications with wide-variety. In this paper, we propose a new mobile multicasting protocol called Mobile IPv6 Multicast Protocol(MIMP). The proposed scheme satisfies no packet losses from roaming and optimal routing efficiency.

In this paper we propose Clustered Group Multicast by Clustering Algorithm in Wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Network. The proposed scheme applies to Weighted Cluster Algorithm Ad-hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized administration or reliable support services such as wired network and base station. In ad hoc network muting protocol because of limited bandwidth and high mobility robust, simple and energy consume minimal. WCGM method uses a base structure founded on combination weighted value and applies combination weight value to cluster header keeping data transmission by seeped flooding, which is the advantage of the exiting FGMP method. Because this method has safe and reliable data transmission, it shows the effect to decrease both overhead to preserve transmission structure and overhead for data transmission.

Since the wireless technologies based on the IP have been developed recently, a variety of mobile services has been proposed. For broadcasting services to utilize network resources efficiently, there is a need to support handover of multicast traffic in mobile networks. In this paper, we add a network function block to solve the tunnel convergence problem, and propose a new fast handover scheme to reduce handover latency for PMIPv6 networks with multicast function. With the simulation result, we show that our fast handover scheme has better performance than the draft in the IETF in the viewpoint of handover latency and multicast service disruption.

Whereas the traditional multicast schemes based on Mobile IP can support a limited number of very large multicast groups, the Xcast protocol can support a very large number of small multicast groups, In the Xcast, the source node encodes the list of destinations in the Xcast header. Therefore, the maximum packet size in the network limits the number of destinations that a Xcast packet may have. In this paper, an enhanced Xcast protocol is proposed to solve the multicast group size limitation of the existing Xcast protocol in providing multicast service for mobile nodes. Moreover, the SIP (a very flexible control plane protocol) is integrated with the proposed multicast scheme to provide mobility awareness on the application layer. The simulation results verify that the proposed multicast scheme not only increases the packet delivery ratio and the data packet forwarding efficiency but also achieves low latency of packets in the network.

Multicast-based data communication is an efficient communication scheme in wireless networks where the Media Access Control (MAC) layer is based on one-hop broadcast from one source to multiple receivers. Compared with unicast, multicast over wireless channel should handle varying channel conditions of multiple users and user mobility to achieve good quality for all users. However, IEEE 802.11 does not support reliable multicast due to its inability to exchange RTS/CTS and ACK with multiple recipients. Thus, several MAC layer protocols have been proposed to provide reliable multicast. For the reliable multicast, an additional overhead is introduced and it degrades the system performance. In this paper, we propose a cross-layer design to reduce the control overhead for reliable multicast in OFDMA systems. We present an analytical formulation of the system throughput associated with the overhead.

In this paper, a multicast mechanism is proposed for intermittently disconnected networks where the nodes move forward in formation or within a limited area. The proposed scheme extends the well-known tree-based multicast routing mechanism called MAODV by modifying the tree construction and data delivery scheme. Especially, an algorithm is introduced which determines the flooding hop count k estimating the degree of the movement of children in the tree. The performance evaluation was done by the simulation and the proposed scheme was compared with MAODV and two multicast routing schemes for DTN (Disruption Tolerant Network) including the Epidemic routing and ST-multicast. The evaluation results show that our scheme improves the original MAODV from the aspect of tree reconstruction events and message delivery ratio. Compared with the Epidemic routing scheme, our scheme achieves 85% message delivery ratio with less than 50% message delivery overhead.

In this paper, we propose a multi-path construction scheme to improve the survivability of a multicast session in military hybrid networks. A military hybrid network consists of a static backbone network and multiple mobile stub networks where some nodes are frequently susceptible to be disconnected due to link failure and node mobility. To improve the survivability of multicast sessions, we propose a construction scheme of ${\kappa}$ redundant multi-paths to each receiver. In order to take account of different characteristics of static and mobile networks, we propose quite different multi-path setup approaches for the backbone and stub networks, respectively, and combine them at the boundary point called gateway. We prove that our proposed scheme ensures that each receiver of a multicast session has ${\kappa}$ redundant paths to the common source. Through simulations, we evaluate the performance of the proposed schemes from three aspects : network survivability, recovery cost, and end-to-end delay.

이동 단말의 수요가 급속하게 증가하고 무선 인터넷의 보급이 활발해짐에 따라 IP 멀티캐스트를 사용하는 응용 프로그램의 사용 증가가 예상된다. 이를 위해, 유니캐스트와 마찬가지로 이동 단말을 위한 무선 IP 멀티캐스트를 위한 핸드오프 프로토콜이 제시되어야 하는데, 그러한 프로토콜로 원격가입(Remote Subscription)과 양방향 터널링(Bidirectional Tunneling)이 제시되고 있다. 하지만. 이들 프로토콜은 가입 지연시간 발생과 패킷 데이터 중복수신의 문제점을 각각 안고 있다. 이러한 문제점들은 멀티캐스트 단말의 Micro­mobility 지원에 있어서 장애가 된다. 본 논문에서는 계층 구조를 통해 멀티캐스트 트리의 재구성을 최소화하고 원격가입 지연시간을 최소화함으로써 Micro­mobility를 지원하는 프로토콜을 제시한다.
