Research on QoS multicast routing protocols in MANET
Zhang Li-fan · Journal of Computer Applications · 2006
A logical Hypercube-based virtual dynamic backbone model for QoS-aware multicast communication was proposed after analyzing and comparing several QoS routing protocols in Mobile Ad hoc NETwork(MANET).The model has the properties of high availability and good load balancing, which are the new requirements to guarantee QoS in MANET. A novel logical location-based self routing algorithm was designed based on the model. Simulations show good performance of the proposed algorithm, such as small delay, small delay jitter and strong fault tolerance.
