Abstract

This paper proposes and simulates a new ad hoc multicasting routing protocol called Modified On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (MODMRP). The MODMRP is based on On-Demand Multicasting Routing Protocol (ODMRP). MODMRP suggests two approaches aimed to reduce the service traffic; the local detection of routes and the information usage on the channels condition during the route information update timer values. The goal of MODMRP is to improve packet delivery efficiency. Through a course of simulation experiments, the MODMRP is compared to the ODMRP in reference to number factors such as Ratio of Packets Delivery and transmission delays. The Simulation results show an increase in the percentage of delivered multicast datagram on an average of 2% and a routing overhead costs decreased on average of 20.5% when compared to ODMRP.
