Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to realize efficient, reliable and scalable point-to-multipoint communications in ad hoc networks. We developed a new scalable multicast scheme that achieves both a better efficiency and a higher reliability by considering both antenna directivity of node and node location information. Our main contributions are as follows: first, we developed a new area-based multicast protocol using node location information for ad hoc networks. Second, we developed reliable efficient multicast protocol considering not only node location information but also antenna directivity of nodes. Third, we conducted experimental evaluations of practical application systems which use our proposed protocol. Our experimental results show the practicality and efficiency of our proposed protocols.
