碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 87 === Multicast in ad hoc network is a rough and important problem in wireless networks. It is true especially in its dynamic topology and limited bandwidth. The property of dynamic topology makes system pay lots of cost to maintain its multicast group. The limited resources of ad hoc network are wasted in such overhead. This thesis is to propose a low cost but high efficiency protocol to adapt this kind of environment. We combine a proposed concept, forwarding group,to clustering structure and the protocol greatly reduces join request overhead, forwarding group size, and traffic loading. Limited resources are saved and efficiency of system is upgraded. At last, we have theoretical analysis and simulation results to provide our view.
