Abstract

A routing algorithm is proposed to support multicast routing infrastructure for heterogeneous wireless/wired networks. The algorithm has two goals: (a) reduce the overall cost of the multicast tree, (b) reduce the latency for join and leave operations when mobile units hand-off from one cell to another. The LMM (Low-cost Mobile Multicast) algorithm reduces the delay during the hand-off process by precomputing the least-cost path to all neighboring cells. LMM is able to effectively support both static and mobile hosts
