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