Multicasting in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

The success of wireless ad hoc networks and the increasing interest in multimedia applications explain the need of multicast protocols adapted to the wireless environment. In this chapter, we first introduce the design considerations for a multicast protocol in a wireless ad hoc network. We then present a classification of multicast protocols and another for reliable ones. Each family is illustrated by a representative example. Finally, we give some directions for the future research related to the multicast protocols: QoS (Quality of Service) support and network coding.
