Intelligent backbone swarms for scalable, disruption tolerant wireless networking

In this paper, we propose a swarm intelligence strategy for constructing a mobile backbone multicasting network which leads to improved scalability and connectivity compared to conventional flat networks. The strategy combines a simple clustering technique and on demand multicast protocol (ODMRP). Also we show benefits of the mobile backbone network through a simulation study.
