Explicit Multicast protocols are newly proposed multicast schemes that support very large numbers of small groups using unicast services. In this paper, we propose a new scalable multicast protocol for wireless ad hoc networks, called Explicit Multicast for MANET (EM2NET). It is based on Xcast scheme. The basic idea behind EM2NET is forwarding data only between Intercepting Nodes (INs) that are determined dynamically; an IN can be a receiver belonging to a multicast group or a branching node. EM2NET is scalable and supports mobility better than existing protocols. It supports load balancing, between INs on the multicast tree, and better energy conservation.
