Multicast routing in mobile ad hoc networks by using a multiagent system

Multicast routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) poses several challenges due to inherent characteristics of the network such as node mobility, reliability, scarce resources, etc. This paper proposes an Agent Based Multicast Routing Scheme (ABMRS) in MANETs, which uses a set of static and mobile agents. Five types of agents are used in the scheme: Route manager static agent, Network initiation mobile agent, Network management static agent, Multicast initiation mobile agent and Multicast management static agent. The scheme operates in the following steps: (1) to identify reliable nodes; (2) to connect reliable nodes through intermediate nodes; (3) to construct a backbone for multicasting using reliable nodes and intermediate nodes; (4) to join multicast group members to the backbone; (5) to perform backbone and group members management in case of mobility. The scheme has been simulated in various network scenarios to test operation effectiveness in terms of performance parameters such as packet delivery ratio, control overheads and group reliability. Also, a comparison of proposed scheme with MAODV (Multicast Ad hoc on-demand Distance Vector) protocol is presented. ABMRS performs better than MAODV as observed from the simulation. ABMRS offers flexible and adaptable multicast services and also supports component based software development.     

An Online Algorithm for the Dynamic Maximal Dense Tree Problem

Abstract. The Online Maximal Dense Tree problem is as follows: given a weighted directed graph and a source node, users issue online requests for connection to the source node. A request can either be accepted or rejected (the admission control decision). If the connection request is accepted, it must be connected to the source or to a node previously connected to the source (the routing decision). The objective is to maximize the total number of connections while keeping the connection density , i.e. the ratio of accepted requests to the weight of the spanning tree, sufficiently high. The primary motivation for the Maximal Dense Tree problem is the Online Capacitated Multicast admission control and routing problem. In the Online Capacitated Multicast problem, we are given a communication network with limited link capacities and a set of signal source nodes. Users generate online requests for connection to the signal sources, and the network administrator has to make the admission control and routing decisions. The goal of the network administrator is to maximize the total number of users connected subject to the network capacity constraints. The Online Maximal Dense Tree problem is also faced by a cable TV operator who wishes to connect as many customers as possible while keeping down the amount of wiring per customer. Informally, the Online Maximal Dense Tree algorithm must ``gamble' on certain geographic areas, connecting nodes which are unprofitable to start with, in the hope that eventually enough requests will arrive in its vicinity to make the investment profitable. In this paper we present a randomized online algorithm for the Maximal Dense Tree problem that guarantees acceptance of a (1- ɛ) factor of the requests accepted by the optimum offline algorithm with the expectation of density being at most polylogarithmically lower than that of the offline algorithm. This yields an online capacitated multicast algorithm whose throughput is only poly-logarithmically lower than that of the optimum offline algorithm. Previous work on multicast routing and maximal dense tree problems either made probabilistic assumptions or resulted in linear performance gaps with the offline algorithm. Attempts to solve the Online Maximal Dense Tree problem have also lead to the development of the first polylogarithmic approximation algorithms for the k -MST and the Prize Collecting Salesman problems [AABV].     

Distributed reformation of core-based group-shared multicast trees in mobile ad hoc networks

This paper proposes a method to reduce the cost of a core-based group-shared multicast tree, where the cost is evaluated by the total bandwidth consumption of multicasting packets among all group members. Due to the broadcast nature of radio transmissions, we find that the challenge of determining minimum cost multicast tree can be approximated by finding the multicast tree with a minimum number of non-leaves (the minimum non-leaf multicast tree problem). However, we also find that the minimum non-leaf multicast tree problem is NP-complete. Thus, a method is proposed to dynamically reduce the number of non-leaves in an existing multicast tree. Experimental results show that our method reduces the cost of the multicast tree in both geometrically and randomly distributed network models and the random waypoint mobility model.

A hybrid multicast connectivity solution for multi-party collaborative environments

In multi-party collaborative environments, a group of users can share multiple media streams via IP multicasting. However, despite of the efficiency of IP multicast, it is not widely available and alternative application-layer multicast approaches are introduced. Application-layer multicast is advantageous, however, it incurs additional processing delays. In this paper, we present a new hybrid-style application-layer multicast solution that satisfies both network efficiency and easy deployment. We achieve this goal by connecting multicast islands through UDP tunnels employing UMTP (UDP multicast tunneling protocol). We also design a MPROBE protocol to remove multicast loop among multicast island in real Internet. We verify the feasibility of the proposed solution by implementing a prototype tool, AG Connector, that works on Access Grid multi-party collaborative environment.
