Multicast in a Heterogeneous Cellular and Ad Hoc Network : Specification of an Ad Hoc Routing Protocol with Cellular Assistance
Mariann Hauge · NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives · 2006
The Ad Hoc Routing Protocol with Cellular Assistance is intended to be used for high-bandwidth streaming on a heterogeneous 3G-cellular and Ad Hoc IEEE 802.11 network architecture. This report describes the protocol in details. The multicast protocol is build from an optimized set of standard ad hoc multicast protocol mechanisms like the ones used in e.g., MAODV, ODMRP and ADMR. The ad hoc mechanisms are complemented with some routing support from the administered 3G-cellular network.
