“…In Ref. 15, MAP functionality is collocated in the IGWs, also Network Access Server together with Mobile Access Gateway are employed to address authentication, authorization and accounting, however this is implemented in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) and it serves a security purpose on MANET 16 . proposes a central controller to maintain flow between IGW and other network elements, however another network element will expose the system to excessive signalling and delay.…”

A wireless mesh network (WMN) is an infrastructure multihop ad hoc network with broadband capabilities. Multicasting is an efficient mechanism for delivery of group communication. However, the current IEEE 802.11s standard has no provision for efficient group communication delivery. Furthermore, the disruption in internet connectivity and loss of information when a mobile mesh client changes its point of attachment may lead to disruption in an ongoing session. The internet gateway (IGW), a prominent component, serves as the wired bridge between the mesh nodes and the internet, thus its placement determines the overall quality of communication in WMNs. Accordingly, a structural design for supporting multicast services in this architecture is indispensable. The main question this paper addresses is how multicast can be efficiently supported for mobile mesh clients in WMN architecture. This paper adopts the technique of employing multicast architecture to solve mobility problems for mobile mesh clients. Thus a framework of novel architecture for supporting multicast services for group application delivery over WMN is presented. The proposed architecture features enhanced functionality of IGW, shared multicast tree, optimal design for IGW and core placement, hierarchical mobility management, load balancing, and robustness. The overall objective is the provision of cost efficient WMN architecture while mobile multicast traffic delivery is supported optimally. This is the first effort reporting multicast service support framework for mobile mesh clients with a focus on IGW placement and functionality.

“…Mesh routers are stationary with power supply otherwise clients which may be mobile or stationary with limited power or ability. These networks have properties like dynamically self-organized, self-configured and self-healing that come into the advantages of easy deployment and maintenance, high reliability, and large coverage [2][3][4].…”

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are becoming increasingly popular as they have significant advantages over competing technologies. In WMNs, routing algorithms are classified into various categories such as unicast, multicast, and multipath routing algorithms. Due to this classification, we select multicast category to be reviewed in our work. A variety of multicast routing solutions have been proposed in the literature. The aim of this survey is to present taxonomy of routing protocols for wireless mesh networks by illustrating the main features and discussing the key challenges.
