On the Construction of Virtual Multicast Backbone for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
Overview With the proliferation of portable computing devices and ascending popularity of group-oriented computing, wireless ad hoc network multicasting remains a challenging research subject. While Virtual Multicast Backbone (VMB) structure are commonly used in current multicast protocols, this paper focuses on the construction of the optimal VMB with the fewest forwarding nodes to decrease overhead and cost, due to the scarce resource in ad hoc networks. Instead of conventional Steiner tree model, the optimal shared VMB in ad hoc networks is modeled as Minimum Steiner Dominating Set (MSCDS) in Unit-Disk Graphs (UDG), which is NP-hard.
