Mobile multicast method using the habitude of movement

Abstract

This paper presents the new mobile multicast method using a habitude of movement that can reduce the total number of the graft and join by making the network including to the habitude be active. The proposed mechanism can provide a multicast service in the mobile environment with the less service delay and not too excessive overhead efficiently. Furthermore, numerical results show that our scheme compared to other mechanisms reduces a delay efficiently until the receipt of multicast service but it has a few overheads. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2002.
