An optimized cluster based approach for multi-source multicast routing protocol in mobile ad hoc networks with differential evolution
R. Pandi Selvam, Vadivel Palanisamy · 2012
This paper presents a new; cluster based multicast routing protocol with some upgrading features such as multiple sources, less redundancy in packet delivery and better forwarding efficiency in mobile ad hoc networks. In this proposed work we have used the differential evolution algorithm for the cluster and hence cluster heads optimization. To prove the proposed routing protocol performance which has been simulated in NS2 and that results are proved that better delivery ratio, control overhead and forwarding efficiency as the function of increasing multicast sources and destinations.
