Abstract :
The paper describes a distributed energy-conserving multicast routing protocol, termed ECMANSI, which makes use of the biological metaphor of swarm intelligence to create the multicast structure. ECMANSI adopts a core-based approach by establishing connectivity among the group members through a designated core node. Each node explores a better path with lesser transmission power to the core, which results in an energy efficient multicast structure. Results from extensive simulations have validated the efficiency of the protocol
