Mesh based multicast routing protocol in mobile ad-hoc networks

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs), are emerged as key technology of the wireless networks future usage. Unlike other traditional Networks, MANETs have been adopted and accepted advantage of multi-hop routing, and more easier and cheaper teknniques.In this thesis, using an protocol unified for multicasting through announcement (PUMA), an efficient queue for PUMA protocol (EQ-PUMA) multicast protocol have been developed. The developed protocol works with MANET networks. Using java programming language, a comparison between PUMA and EQ-PUMA has been made. Experimental results of the developed EQ-PUMA protocol has been compared with the PUMA protocol. Obtained results shows that the developed EQ-PUMA protocol shows more efficient and minimize packet dropping more than PUMA protocol.
