An emerging technology is wireless mesh network that provides high quality service to end users as the "last mile" of the Internet.A Key technology in wireless mesh networks is Multicast communication.Efficient data distribution among a group of nodes is done by using Multicast.In other types of wireless networks, like sensor networks and MANETs, two multicast schemes are proposed: Level Channel Assignment (LCA) scheme and Dynamic Routing Scheme (DRA) to improve the throughput for multi-channel and multiinterface mesh networks.Multicast trees are built efficiently using thescheme by minimizing the number of relay nodes and total hop count distances of the trees.We use dedicated channel assignment strategies in the schemes to reduce the interference and also to improve the network capacity.Throughput is achieved by using DRA and LCA has a shorter delay be realized in distributed manner.
