본 논문에서는 멀티캐스트 패킷 재전송을 담당하는 기능을 기지국에 탑재하여 신뢰성있는 멀티캐스트 전송 프로토콜인 Scalable Multicast Protocol 성능을 개선하고자 한다. 유무선 통합망에서 Scalable Multicast Protocol 동작시, 무선 네트워크에서의 비트 에러나 단말의 이동성으로 패킷 재전송이 많이 발생한다. 이런 재전송 때문에 Scalable Multicast Protocol의 그룹에 제어 메시지 및 재전송 메시지가 증가하게 되며, 이는 또한 Scalable Multicast Protocol 세션 전체 성능을 저하시킨다. 본 논문은 기지국에 무선 환경에 있는 단말의 복구 요구 메시지에 대한 복구 메시지 전송을 담당하는 기능을 추가하여 전체 세션의 성능을 높이고자 한다. ARENA를 이용하여 제안한 방법이 멀티캐스트 세션에의 복구 요구 및 복구 메시지의 수를 줄일 수 있고 멀티캐스트 그룹 세션 전체의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 검증하였다.

Group oriented multicast applications are becoming increasingly popular in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Due to dynamic topology of MANETs, stateless multicast protocols are finding increased acceptance since they do not require maintenance of state information at intermediate nodes. Recently, several multicast schemes have been proposed which scale better' with the number of multicast sessions than traditional multicast strategies. These schemes are also known as explicit multicast (Xcast; explicit list of destinations in the packet header) or small group multicast (SGM). In this paper, we propose a new scheme for small group' multicast in MANETs named extended explicit multicast (E2M), which is implemented on top of Xcast and introduces mechanisms to make it scalable with number of group members for a given multicast session. Unlike other schemes, E2M does not make any assumptions related to network topology or node location. It is based on the novel concept of dynamic selection of Xcast forwarders (XFs) between a source and its potential destinations. The XF selection is based on group membership and the processing overhead involved in supporting the Xcast protocol at a given node. If the number of members in a given session is small, E2M behaves just like the basic Xcast scheme with no intermediate XFs. As group membership increases, nodes may dynamically decide to become an XF. This scheme, which can work with few E2M aware nodes in the network, provides transparency of stateless multicast, reduces header processing overhead, minimizes Xcast control traffic, and makes Xcast scalable with the number of group members.

Recently, multicast routing protocols become increasingly important aspect in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), as they effectively manage group communications. Meanwhile, multimedia and real-time applications are becoming essential need for users of MANET. Thus it is necessary to design efficient and effective Quality of Service (QoS) multicast routing strategies. In this paper, we address the scalability problem of multicast routing protocols to support QoS over MANETs. In particular, we introduce a Position-Based QoS Multicast Routing Protocol (PBQMRP). Basically, the protocol based on dividing the network area into virtual hexagonal cells. Then, the location information is exploited to perform efficient and scalable route discovery. In comparison with other existing QoS multicast routing protocols, PBQMRP incurs less control packets by eliminating network flooding behavior. Through simulation, the efficiency and scalability of PBQMRP are evaluated and compared with the well-known On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP). Simulation results justify that our protocol has better performance, less control overhead and higher scalability.

In this paper, we present the Enhanced Communication Transport Protocol-Part 5 (ECTP-5), which provides scalable and reliable multicast communication service for many-to-many applications by constructing high quality recovery trees from two-layer logical trees and repairing the losses via unicast automatic repeat request-based error control. In order to realize the protocol, we developed feasible protocol architectures and building blocks including additional functions which deal with engineering details, such as membership dynamics and sender coordination. Experimental results show that ECTP-5 scales well with various session sizes and packet loss rates in terms of control overhead and recovery latency.

IP 멀티캐스트는 Best-Effort 서비스를 제공하므로 신뢰적인 전송을 보장하지 않는다. 최근 신뢰적인 전송을 보장하기 위한 다양한 접근이 시도되고 있지만, 인터넷상에서 확장성 있는 신뢰적인 멀티캐스트 전송을 구현하기엔 아직까지 미흡하다. 본 논문에서는 이를 극복하기 위해 확장성과 신뢰성을 지원하는 신뢰적인 멀티캐스트 구조 (RMA)를 제안한다. 제안하는 모델은 수신자 기반의 재전송 요청을 통해 신뢰성을 보장하는 한편, 멀티캐스트 라우터 가 피드백을 억제함으로써 확장성을 보장한다. 또한, 기존의 멀티캐스트 라우팅 정보를 최대한 활용하여 프로토콜 변경비용 및 오버헤드를 최소화한다. 성능분석 결과, 제안하는 모델은 확장성과 호환성 측면에서 기존의 연구보다 우수성을 보였다.

In this letter, we propose a new multicast scheme, named Xcast+, which is an extension of Explicit Multicast (Xcast) for an efficient delivery of multicast packets. The mechanism incorporates the host group model and a new control plane into existing Xcast, and not only does it provide the transparency of traditional multicast schemes to senders and receivers, but it also enhances the routing efficiency in networks. Since intermediate routers do not have to maintain any multicast states, it results in a more efficient and scalable mechanism to deliver multicast packets. Our simulation results show distinct performance improvements of our approach compared to Xcast, particularly as the number of receivers in a subnet increases.

In mobile ad hoc networks, an application scenario requires mostly collaborative mobility behavior. The key problem of those applications is scalability with regard to the number of multicast members as well as the number of the multicast group. To enhance scalability with group mobility, we have proposed a multicast protocol based on a new framework for hierarchical multicasting that is suitable for the group mobility model in MANET. The key design goal of this protocol is to solve the problem of reflecting the node's mobility in the overlay multicast tree, the efficient data delivery within the sub-group with group mobility support, and the scalability problem for the large multicast group size. The results obtained through simulations show that our approach supports scalability and efficient data transmission utilizing the characteristic of group mobility.

유니캐스트와는 달리 멀티캐스트 환경에는 상당히 많은 전송 링크가 존재하기 때문에 그 만큼 보안을 위협하는 요소들이 많이 존재한다. 따라서 안전한 멀티캐스트 통신을 위해서는 멀티캐스트 트래픽을 보호하는 메커니즘이 필수적이고 이러한 메커니즘의 핵심적인 요소 기술은 그룹키를 효율적으로 그룹 구성원들에게 분배하는 것이다. 멀티캐스트 환경에서 보안성을 제공하기 위해 최근가지 진행되어 오고 있는 연구들은 대부분 그룹키 분배에 관련된 것들이다. 본 논문에서는 멀티캐스트 환경에서 키 서버의 트래픽 집중을 효율적으로 분산시킬 수 있는 그룹키 관리 구조를 제안하였다. 제안한 프로토콜은 분산된 키 관리 구조와 서브 그룹 단위로 그룹키를 갱신한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 멀티캐스트 그룹키 관리 프로토콜을 기존의 연구들과 비교한 결과 가입 및 탈퇴 지연시간과 데이터 전송 지연 시간 측면에서 향상된 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents an efficient overlay multicast routing protocol (ROMP) and its architecture. ROMP using GPS and region map stands on the basis of scalable 2-tiered multicast architecture and maintains a global overlay multicast tree through reactive fashion. With this approach, the coarse-grain location-awareness for an efficient overlay multicasting and the determination of hot-spot area for efficient data delivery are feasible. The simulation results show that the localized control packets of ROMP prevent the overlay control packets from squandering the physical network resources.

Multicast protocols are efficient methods of group communication such as video conference, Internet broadcasting and On-Line Game, but they do not support the various transmission protocol services like a reliability guarantee, FTP, or Telnet that TCPs do. The Purpose or this Paper is to find a method to utilize multicast routers can simultaneously transport multicast packets and TCP packets. For multicast network scalability and error recovery the existing SRM(Scalable Reliable Multicast)method has been used. Three packets per TCP transmission control window site are used for transport and an ACK is used for flow control. A CBR(Constant Bit Rate) and a SRM is used for UDP traffic control. Divided on whether a UDP multicast packet and TCP unicast packet is used simultaneously or only a UDP multicast packet transport is used, the multicast receiver with the longest delay is measured on the number of packets and its data receiving rate. It can be seen that the UDP packet and the TCP's IP packet can be simultaneously used in a server router.
