Wireless ad-hoc networks are playing an important role in extending the implementation of
traditional wireless infrastructure (cellular networks, wireless LAN, etc). Routing design in ad …

We propose an efficient heuristic algorithm for multicast tree construction in ad hoc networks.
The objective is to connect a source node to a set of destination nodes with a sequence of …

An ad-hoc mobile network is a rambling collection of mobile nodes that are constantly
changed and randomly located in such a manner that the nodes are capable of changing …

An adhoc wireless network is a network composed of mobile hosts with no fixed
infrastructure and no central administration. The main constraints in these networks are …

Multicast communication in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) is emerging for wireless
group communication which includes applications such as multipoint data dissemination …

Finding a near-optimal routing solution for multicast requests is a challenge for supporting
different multicast applications including video and group communications over wireless ad …

Multicast routing is an effective way to communicate among multiple hosts in a network. It
outperforms the basic broadcast strategy by sharing resources along general links, while …

Multicasting is intended for group-oriented communication services. One particularly
challenging environment for multicast is a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), where the …

Many network applications require transmitting the same single copy of data packets
concurrently to many destinations, it is called multicasting. Wired and infrastructure-based …

We propose a simple nearly-optimal heuristic algorithm for multicast tree construction in
static ad hoc networks. The objective is to deliver a data packet from a source node to a set …
