A Routing Discovering Control of Multicast Routing with Multiple Constraints in Ad Hoc Networks

Multicast routing with multiple constraints has become a very significant research issue in mobile ad hoc networks and focus on routing discovering. Compared with the existing methods, a routing discovering control with some constraints, such as delay, bandwidth and delay jitter, is described in this paper. Accordingly, a multicast routing protocol based on clustering (CMRP) is proposed. The each intra cluster node only maintains its clusterpsilas routing information, and the each bridge node maintains its cluster information and the summary information of other clusters. Extensive simulations show the good performance of CMRP, which can maximize the lifetime of ad hoc networks.
