Abstract

Multicast has emerged as a very desirable feature in communication networks. With multicast, data can be distributed to multiple recipients in an efficient and economical manner. In this paper, we present a performance evaluation of novel multicast routing strategy for mobile ad hoc network environment, which is charecterized by highly-dynamic topology with constrained bandwidth and limited power. The Associativity-Based Ad hoc Multicast (ABAM) protocol establishes multicast sessions on demand and utilizes association stability concept, which is introduced in ABR protocol for mobile ad hoc unicast routing. Performance of ABAM is simulated and compared with flooding-based multicast routing protocol. The results show impressive throughput and very low communication overhead.
