“…Each node in the network merely know the multicast nodes location and their own current location rather than the global topology, which adopts the location algorithm to calculate the closer next hop node from multicast region and then transfers messages to it until each multicast node receives message. Document [31]has proposed a receivers-based stateless multicast method, the network is divided into four regions by the quadrant, the multicast nodes determine which quadrant they locate based on their own location, and the nodes does not maintain states information, only according to the location information of nodes in the network for transferring messages. Literature [32][33] use opportunistic routing for multicast, and combined with network coding, effectively improve network throughput, increasing the reliability of message transmission.…”

The paper presents energy-efficiency opportunistic multicast routing protocol (EOMR) for the multicast energy consumption minimization problem in wireless sensor networks. The protocol divides the network into single grids, so each node determines their own coordinates according to the grid, which they locate in a certain period of time. The nodes only need to know the topology of their own grid, instead of the topology of the entire network. Nodes in the same grid determine the priority in light of the upstream and downstream links metrics, and use the opportunistic routing to send messages to the next hop. The destinations calculate the optimal path in accordance with the hops and links cost, and transmission acknowledgement to source along the optimal path selected. If all nodes in the current grid transmission messages failure, the neighbor grids are in charge of retransmission. The results of simulation show that, compared with traditional multicast routing, EOMR is effective in reducing the consumption of links cost, so that it improves the link reliability and reduces the delay.

Abstract. In scenarios involving point-to-multipoint network traffic, transmitting to each destination individually with unicast may lead to poor utilisation of network bandwidth, excessive energy consumption caused by the high number of packets and suffers from low scalability as the number of destinations increases. An alternative approach, would be to use network-layer multicast, where packets are transmitted to multiple destinations simultaneously. In doing so, applications adopting a one-tomany communication paradigm may improve their energy efficiency and bandwidth utilisation. In this paper, we present Bi-directional Multicast Forwarding Algorithm (BMFA), a novel RPL-based multicast forwarding mechanism. BMFA improves its pre-predecessor SMRF in that it allows multicast traffic to travel both upwards as well as downwards in an RPL tree. At the same time, it retains SMRF's low latency and very low energy consumption characteristics. Our performance evaluation results, conducted using the Contiki operating system, show that BMFA outperforms its rival Trickle Multicast / Multicast Protocol for Low power and Lossy Networks (TM / MPL), in terms of reducing both delay and energy consumption.
