Simulation is the most widely used tool for evaluating the performance of multihop mobile wireless networks, yet such simulation has so far been limited due to the lack of sufficient wireless mobility models for creating a wide range of different types of network scenarios of mobile nodes moving about for use in protocol simulation. For example, the ...

MiCoN (Minimum-Cost Neighbor) is a new on-demand multicast routing protocol for mobile wireless ad hoc networks. Multicast routing in MiCoN is based on a new multi-route unicast routing protocol for maintaining routes between the network nodes and all group receivers. This routing is guaranteed to be loop-free even in the presence of dropped packets ...
