이동호스트를 위한 적응성 멀티캐스트 알고리즘 = An Adaptive Multicast Algorithm for Mobile Hosts

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To Provide multicast service for mobile hosts must deal with dynamic member location and its group membership in mobile networks. There are two old approaches as hi -directional tunneling and remote subscription for mobile multicast. The deployment of existing multicast protocols(home agent-based multicast, Bidirectional packet tunneling) is very inefficiently to use network resources such as duplicate copies of multicast datagrams, tunnel convergence, and unicast by long delivery path. The remote subscription scheme may be very expensive because muticast packet delivering is delayed and discontinued frequently by rebuilding a multicast tree to serve multicast when the host move highly. In this paper, we analyse these problems of multicast routing protocols and propose an efficient multicast protocol using cost function to consider the host mobility in wireless mobile networks, By cost function, a mobile host make a decision to receive a tunneled multicast datagram from home agent or to receive a rebuild path from foreign agent. The performance of the proposed protocol was evaluated by simulation under various environments and we got an improved performance.
