Abstract

This work presents an efficient multicast protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. We extend our previous work [3] to enhance the reliability. In [3], a lost packet recovery scheme is developed for reliable packet transmission, called the Recovery Point (RP) scheme. In this work, we combine the FEC technology with our RP scheme to enhance the reliability of our RP scheme. Our proposed scheme can be used to improve the reliability and efficiency of the traditional non-acknowledged multicasting approach. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the proposed multicasting scheme. The results demonstrate that our scheme outperforms other schemes in terms of packet delivery ratio and multicast efficiency.
