Multiple Tree Multicast Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (MT-MAODV) Routing Protocol for Video Multicast over Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Multiple Multicast Tree Construction and Multiple Description Video Assignment Algorithms

“…Multicast is an essential technology for many applications such as video distribution and group video conferencing, and results in bandwidth and power savings as compared to multiple unicast sessions. Many researches over the last several years have focused on unicast and multicast video transmission over wireless ad hoc networks (Wei & Zakhor, 2007;Agrawal et al, 2006;Chow & Ishii, 2008;Mao, Hou, Cheng, Sherali, Midkiff & Zhang, 2006;Mao et al, 2003). The main objective of these researches is to improve the quality of the received video by exploiting the error resilience properties of MDC along with multiple paths.…”

“…The quality of a stream can be expected to be roughly proportional to data rate sustained by the receiver (Goyal, 2001;Puri & Ramchandran, 1999). Video multicast over wireless ad hoc networks with path diversity has been studied in Wei & Zakhor (2007); ; Agrawal et al (2006); Chow & Ishii (2008). Chow and Ishii have proposed a multicast protocol for video transmission called MT-MAODV (Multiple Trees Multicast Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector) (Chow & Ishii, 2008).…”

Chow and Ishii have proposed a multicast protocol for video transmission called MT-MAODV (Multiple Trees Multicast Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector) (Chow & Ishii, 2008). An extension to the well-knownMAODV to construct two optimally disjoint multicast trees in a single routine for video multicast was proposed.…”

Video multicast based multiple description coding and multi-paths in wireless ad hoc networks

“…Video multicast over wireless ad hoc networks with path diversity has been studied in [4,5,6,7]. Chow and Ishii have proposed a multicast protocol for video transmission called MT-MAODV (Multiple Trees Multicast Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector) [7].…”
