A Delay-Sensitive Multicast Protocol for Network Capacity

Enhancement in Multirate MANETs

ABSTRACT:

Due to significant advances in wireless modulation technologies, some MAC

standards such as 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g can operate with multiple data
rates for QoS-constrained multimedia communication to utilize the limited
resources of MANETs more efficiently. In this paper, by means of measuring the
busy/idle ratio of the shared radio channel, a method for estimating one-hop delay
is first suggested. Then, by constructing a multicast tree, a delay-sensitive
multicast protocol for real-time applications in multi rate MANETs is proposed. In
order to increase the network capacity, the proposed multicast protocol intends to
minimize the sum of the total transmission time of the forwarders and the total
blocking time of the blocked hosts, by taking the neighboring information of the
forwarders into account and properly adjusting the data rates of the forwarders.
Simulation results show that the proposed delay estimation method is more
accurate, as compared with previous works. Besides, the proposed multicast
protocol can induce higher network capacity, while satisfying the delay
requirement.

EXISTING SYSTEM:
  In Existing System, Estimation methods for the one-hop delay and end-to-
end Delay can be found. The analysis of the one-hop delay for a host
requires the traffic attempt rate (i.e., the ratio of the number of attempts to
the time spent in backoff) of its each neighboring host. However, it is not
easy to estimate the traffic attempt rate for a wireless channel, especially in
multi rate MANETs.
 The delay estimation method simply measures the busy/idle ratio of the
shared radio channel. Since the delay estimation methods in existing system
take channel condition into account.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:

 Existing delay estimation method is not accurate.

 Existing multicast protocol can induce lower network capacity.
 Existing multicast protocol increase the sum of the total transmission time of
the forwarders.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

 We propose a multicast protocol which aims to construct delay-sensitive

multicast trees for real-time multicast services in the multi rate MANETs,
with the objective of minimizing the sum of the total transmission time of
the forwarders and the total blocking time of the blocked hosts.
  The data rates and carrier sense neighbors of forwarders are taken into
account, while constructing source-to-destination routes.
 The proposed multicast protocol intends to minimize the sum of the total
transmission time of the forwarders and the total blocking time of the
blocked hosts by taking the neighboring information of the forwarders into
account and properly adjusting the data rates of the forwarders, while
constructing the multicast tree. A multicasting route with less total
transmission time and total blocking time can reduce the resource
consumption to the network so that the network capacity is increased, i.e.,
more flows are admitted into the network.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:

 The Proposed delay estimation method is more accurate.

 The Proposed multicast protocol can induce higher network capacity.
 The Proposed multicast protocol intends to minimize the sum of the total
transmission time of the forwarders.
