An ad-hoc network is the cooperative engagement of a collection of typically wireless mobile nodes without the required intervention of any centralized access point or existing ...
— Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are seen as an essential technology to support future Pervasive Computing Scenarios and 4G networks. In a MANET, efficient support of multipoint...
Abstract— Traditionally, reliable multicast protocols are deterministic in nature. It is precisely this determinism that tends to become their limiting factor when aiming at reli...
—There are increasing interest and big challenge in designing a scalable and robust multicast routing protocol in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) due to the difficulty in group ...
The characteristics of ad hoc networks naturally encourage the deployment of distributed services. Although current networks implement group communication methods, they do not sup...
