Abstract
Video multicast over wireless medium has gained increasing popularity in a wide range of applications, such as video-on-demand and group video conferencing. With mobile ad hoc networks emerging as a promising solution for future ubiquitous communications, supporting reliable video multicast over mobile ad hoc networks is a timely research topic. In this paper we tackle this issue by using multiple tree multicast routing protocol. Specifically, we introduce an extension to the Multicast Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (MAODV) routing protocol to construct two optimally disjoint trees in a single routine. The extended protocol is called Multiple Tree Multicast Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (MT MAODV) routing protocol. In order to distribute the video evenly and independently between these disjoint trees, the Multiple Description Coding (MDC) scheme is used for video coding. Simulation shows that the proposed protocol demonstrates video multicast with better quality than the conventional video multicast using a single tree only.
