Performance Analysis of QoS Multicast Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using Directional Antennas
Yuan Li, Xing Guo Luo · International Journal of Computer Network and Information Security · 2010
in this paper, a quality of service (QoS) multicast routing protocol in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) by using directional antennas has been presented.Many important applications, such as audio/video conferencing, require the quality of service guarantee.Directional antenna technology provides the capability for considerable increase in spatial reuse, which increases the efficiency of communication.This paper studies TDMA-based timeslot allocation and directional antennas, and presents an effective algorithm for calculating bandwidth of a multicast tree.We also propose a novel on-demand QoS multicasting routing algorithm in TDMA-based mobile ad hoc networks using directional antennas.The simulation result shows the performance of this QoS multicast routing algorithm in TDMA-based mobile ad hoc networks using directional antennas.
