Abstract

In this paper, we present a reliable congestion control mechanism for geocasting in mobile wireless networks. Our protocol can be used as an extension to conventional multicasting protocols in order to overcome the problems associated with terminal mobility and the wireless environment. We present the architecture and implementation of the Multicast ACK Aggregation Method (MAAM). And test the performance of MAAM in various scenarios. Our simulation results show the efficiency and reliability of MAAM in wireless networks with high bit error rates. We further enhance the performance of MAAM by designing MAAM with local recovery (MAAM/LR).
