Conclusions and Future Work
nProposed protocol achieves over 99% PDR for relatively
small number of multicast senders
nAs ad hoc networks tend to experience temporary partitions,
achieving 100% PDR is not realistic
nFuture work
ØHave protocol parameters derived automatically
ØIncrease link and network capacity by modifying
MAC
ØExplore the pros and cons of broadcast vs. multicast using
other multicast protocols (MAODV, ADMR)
ØFlow control, security, non-uniform traffic
