Abstract

In this paper we study the importance of group characteristics in multicast communications, and we present a generalized multicast routing schema called GMRP (Generalized Multicast Routing Problem). The goal of GMRP is to provide an efficient multicast routing approach based on the group characteristics. As a case study we considered the group dynamism where we distinguish between fixed and dynamic receivers, we present an efficient routing algorithm called Maximum Degree Minimum Delay Algorithm that takes advantage of this group characteristic.
