An All-to-All Multicast Routing Protocol in a Wireless Ad-Hoc Network to Improve Channel Utilization

<p>Wireless Ad-hoc network has become more and more popular. Several different multicasting schemes for this type of network have been developed. But most of them are targeting a situation where the total number of senders is much less than the total number of receivers. This thesis analyzes different wireless communication patterns in ad hoc network, the trend for wireless communication and presents a new multicast scheme. It targets an ad-hoc network where all mobile hosts act as both senders and receivers. The proposed scheme in this thesis will reduce overheads by combining data packets that are destined for the same mobile hosts. The action of combining jobs will be done at mobile hosts which are not joined in the multicasting group and only functioned as forwarders.</p>
