개미 시스템을 기반으로 한 Ad hoc 네트워크 멀티캐스팅

초록

This paper proposes a novel multicasting algorithm, called ANMAS (Ad hoc Network Multicasting with Ant System), for Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). The algorithm utilizes the indirect communication method of the ants via "pheromone" to effectively obtain dynamical topology change information, generating safer multicasting paths, and adapts the well-known CBT (Core Based Tree) multicasting algorithm into the ANMAS framework with proper modificiations to make "tolerable" multicasting group in the MANET environment. We show the efficiency and the effectiveness of ANMAS via simulation studies.
