A Multiple Constrained Long-life QoS Multicast Routing Algorithm in MANET

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection mobile network nodes dynamically forming of wireless temporary without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. This paper introduces a multiple constrained long-life QoS multicast routing algorithm in MANETs (MCQMR). The key idea of MCQMR algorithm is to construct the new metric-entropy and select the stability path with the help of entropy metric to reduce the number of route reconstruction so as to provide QoS guarantee in MANET. The simulation results show that the proposed approach and parameters provide an accurate and efficient method of estimating and evaluating the route stability in dynamic MANETs.
