Abstract :
In this paper, we address the issue of video multicast for heterogeneous destinations in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). By exploiting multiple node-disjoint trees and multiple description coding (MDC), we propose an efficient video multicast routing protocol for heterogeneous destinations (EVMR-HD). EVMR-HD deploys, for the first time, the independent-description property of MDC to increase number of video descriptions requested by each destination and therefore improve the quality of the received video. Our results show that EVMR-HD outperforms Serial MDTMR in terms of several metrics.
