Enhanced Multicast Routing Protocol in MANET
Sambhu Dahal, Niranjan Kumar Ray · 2016
In this paper we have proposed an Enhanced MulticastRouting Protocol (EMRP) for MANET. It is based on MAODV. The proposed EMRP is operated in two phase: (i) Route Discovery and Multicast Tree Formation (ii) Multicast Tree Maintenance. EMRP selects the path based on node lifetime and hop count to the destination node. A mechanism is used to reduce the route discovery during link break. A node uses two hop neighbor information to repair the link. The proposed protocol is compared with an existing one. From the simulation results it is observed that the proposed EMRP has higher throughput.
