The use of multiuser detectors for multicasting in wireless ad hoc CDMA networks

In this paper, we address the issue of performance of linear multiuser detectors for a multicasting application in an ad hoc wireless network. Using a code-division multiple-access (CDMA) framework, we demonstrate how capacity results for multiuser detectors can be adapted to do session admission control for the multicasting problem. We then develop a multicast routing algorithm for ad hoc wireless networks. Using the session admission control mechanism and the multicast routing algorithm, we evaluate the performance of three different linear multiuser detectors for the multicasting application.
