Abstract

There has been growing interest in multicast technologies for wireless mesh networks with increasing demand for enjoying seamless multimedia broadcast service such as mobile IPTV anytime anywhere for any content on any device. This paper addressed the factors that should be considered when designing multicast algorithm in WMNs. Several routing metrics which are adapted for WMNs based multicast are described in detail to show that the main design goal for multicast metric is to achieve high throughput. Those metrics that take into account the characteristics of WMNs such as wireless broadcast advantage or channel diversity can arrange load balancing more effectively.
