In this paper, we present an alternative design, RBMoM (Range-Based Mobile Multicast), for efficiently supporting multicast for mobile hosts on the Internet. The current version of Mobile IP proposes two approaches to support mobile multicast, which are remote subscription and bi-directional tunneling. The former provides the shortest routes for delivery of multicast datagrams to mobile hosts; the latter hides host mobility from all other members of the group (therefore, no any overhead in the multicast tree maintenance). RBMoM intends to trade off between the shortest delivery path and the frequency of the multicast tree reconfiguration by controlling the service range of the multicast home agent (MHA). Actually, we will find that remote subscription and bi-directional tunneling are the extremes of RBMoM. From the point of view of the MHA and the service range concepts, RBMoM is a generalization of both approaches and a unifying mobile multicast approach. The simulation results show that RBMoM can adapt to the fluctuation of both host movement and the number of mobile group members, and outperforms the current two Mobile IP multicast solutions.
