This paper studies optimal relay-based multicast routing to improve throughput in multirate-aware MANETs. The main idea is trying to replace a lower rate transmission of upstream node with some higher rate transmissions by relay nodes to minimize the total transmission time of the upstream node and relay nodes. Firstly, we formulate this problem as an optimization problem and prove that it is NP-hard...
A wireless ad hoc network consists of mobile nodes that are powered by batteries. The limited battery lifetime imposes a severe constraint on the network performance, energy conservation in such a network thus is of paramount importance, and energy efficient operations are critical to prolong the lifetime of the network. All-to-all multicasting is one fundamental operation in wireless ad hoc networks,...
This paper investigates the construction of a multicast tree satisfying Quality of Service (QoS) real-time group communication in a heterogeneous network comprising multiple Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) attached to the backbone Internet. The main objective of our work is to optimize the Delay- and delay Variation Bounded Multicast Tree (DVBMT) problem, which has been proved to be NP-complete. This...
In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directional antennas. In directional antenna models, the transmission/reception range is divided into several sectors and one or more sectors can be switched on for transmission. Therefore, data forwarding can be restricted to certain...
