Multicast Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless networks have recently gained on signif- icance. In environments where it is impossible to build tra- ditional infrastructure wireless networks, ad hoc and wireless mesh networks are used. The purpose of this paper is to eval- uate certain multicast routing algorithms used in ad hoc and wireless mesh networks. The first part of the paper addresses the subject of ad hoc and wireless mesh networks, as well as the issue of multicasting in these networks. Furthermore, the paper contains a review of routing algorithms. In the last part of the paper the conducted research is presented and a multicast algorithms with the best performance in WMNs is chosen. Keywords-WMN; multicast routing algorithms I. INTRODUCTION
