Design and implementation of multicast protocol for MANET;

<Abstrcat>By using the "small world" model as the theoretical foundation in the light of users requirement and a shared organization layer and region of logic manage-unit, a new application layer multicast protocol model of RLP2P with multi-layer structure based on region was proposed, and its prototype system was implemented.

Quality of the data delivery path, robustness of the overlay and control overhead are three important metric that about the"goodness"defined to evaluate the quality of the application layer multicast protocol.

This paper describes a reliable multicast protocol, totally ordered reliable multicast (TORM), designed for real time interactive applications, e.

In this paper, some of the current reliable multicast protocols have been introduced and their parameters of performance have been analysed and studied.

To meet the demand of radar intelligence network transmission layer for distribution of radar intelligence, two real-time reliable multicast protocols based on both forward error correction (FEC) and layered information redundancy (LIR) were designed respectively, and simulated by OPNET network simulator as well.

Advanced scalable multicast routing protocol with mobility prediction for Ad Hoc networks;

This paper discusses the key MPLS techniques for multicast, including label switch s initiation mode and its functional characteristics, signaling choice, and the effect of multicast routing protocols on the implementation of multicast.

In this thesis, multicast routing protocol for MANET is the main research in this thesis.
