MAODV multicast routing protocol based on node mobility prediction
Mingyang Zhong, Yunqing Fu, Xinqiang Jia · 2011
Mobile Ad hoc network is a multihop and provisional automous networks without support of infrastructure, which is composed of a group of mobile nodes with wireless transceiver. Based on MAODV, the paper proposes NMP-MAODV multicast routing protocol for the link disconnection problem caused by node moving so that the node is out of its upstream node's signal range. The protocol improves the packet delivery ratio and average delay in highly mobile network using node mobility prediction and active-link switch. Simulation results prove the feasibility and effectiveness of NMP-MAODV in Ad hoc networks.
