Overview:

Many applications in wireless ad-hoc networks require multicast communication. In order to provide efficient multicast, various multicast routing protocols have been designed in recent years to facilitate formation of routes between multicast senders and receivers. There has also been some work to develop a suitable MAC protocol to improve efficiency of multicast communication. The work discussed in this paper explores some approaches for reliable multicast at the MAC layer. A multicast extension of IEEE 802.11 protocol is developed and its performance is evaluated. The protocol is implemented in the popular ns-2 simulator and experiments are performed with multicast routing protocol.
