In modern wireless networks, multicast is a very important technique to improve network performance, including throughput, delay, energy efficiency, loss monitoring, etc.The quality of wireless links in wireless networks is affected by many factors like collisions, fading, packet loss problem and noise.Multicast techniques and reliable multicast protocol are used to resolve these negative factors and improve throughput and reduce delay in lossy wireless networks.Point-to-multipoint data transmission over wireless IP networks occurs in multicast technology.Bandwidth of network saved and load on the network is reduced with the use of multicast technique.In this paper, the four key techniques named as LP-based opportunistic routing structure, opportunistic feeding, fast batch moving and inter-batch coding, are reviewed.
