Multicast Routing in Mobile Adhoc Networks Using Source Grouped Flooding

Abstract

Ad hoc networks are peer to peer, autonomous networks comprised of wireless mobile devices. The ease and speed of deployment of these networks makes them ideal for battlefield communications, disaster recovery and other such applications where fixed infrastructure is not readily available. Limited bandwidth, energy constraints and unpredictable network topologies pose difficult problems for the design of applications for these networks. The last couple of years has seen renewed research in this field. Specifically in unicast and multicast routing and security issues. In this thesis, we address the multicast routing problem for ad hoc networks.
