Delay of Reliable Multicast Protocols in Wireless Networks

Abstract

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) plays important roles towards the next generation wireless networking. It is a key technology to support wireless multi-hop networks. Due to dynamic routing nature of WMNs, the optimization of routing protocol is most critical task. Our work consists on the study and the analysis of the performances of two reliable multicast protocols based on active networks: AMRHy(Active Dynamic Replier Reliable Multicast) and DyRAM(Active Multicast Reliable Hybrid). This analysis will allow us to show the contribution of the combination of the class receiver-initiated and sender- initiated in solving the reliability problem involving the active routers.
