Issues and Challenges in Multicast Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs)

Abstract

Research in mobile area ADHOC-networks (MANETs) and its application has covered a wide spectrum of modern technology. Although a MANET can be implemented in a limited geographical area, applications of it are numerous in fay-to-day life. However, challenges to its accurate implementation have become the major concern for the researchers and scientists. Nature of Service (QoS) mindful rouing in MANET is one of the significant difficulties. Directing in a MANET can be acted in different manners and multicast steering is one of such varieties in directing in MANET. In multicast directing, a solitary hub can effectively send to various hubs in a MANET a solitary duplicate of message. Multicast steering is generally helpful for explicit applications wherein a subset of nodesd in the MANET can be related with. Right now, endeavor to lead a complete sutvey through the writing relating to multicst steering in MANET.
