Group Communication Scheme for Mobile Networks with Mobile Router

One or more mobile nodes with mobile router(s) form a mobile network. Mobile router acts as the single point of attachment to the internet. As the configuration of mobile network changes, mobile router keeps track of its registered mobile nodes. Presently, a scheme has been designed for group registration of mobile nodes under a single home agent. In this paper, a communication scheme is proposed to send common messages to a group of registered mobile nodes in the mobile network simultaneously through the mobile router. Results show that this scheme not only improves utilization of bandwidth but also reduces end to end delay.
