Multicasting in Ad Hoc Networks

An ad hoc network is a dynamic wireless network with the engagement of cooperative nodes without a fixed infrastructure. Multicasting is intended for group communication that supports the dissemination of information from a sender to all the receivers in a group. Problems in ad hoc networks are the scarcity of bandwidth, short lifetime of the nodes due to power constraints, dynamic topology caused by the mobility of nodes. These problems put in force to design a simple, scalable, robust and energy efficient routing protocols for multicast environment. In this project I discuss different multicasting protocols, their deployment issues and provide some guidelines for the researchers in this field.
