Jianxin Song · Video Engineering · 2011
In this paper,a survey on multicast protocols in Wireless Mesh Network(WMN)is presented.And factors to be addressed while designing a multicast protocol for wireless mesh network all also analyzed,like availability of mesh router infrastructure,effect of multiple channels and channel assignment,load balancing,selection of multicast routing metric,effect of guaranteed QoS,and cross layer optimization.Finally,the problems in current research are discussed,and the new point of views on the future research are given.
