Multicast Overview Multicast Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (MAODV)  Advantages and Disadvantages + Low Overhead (because unicast the reply) + Shortest path always chosen (tree approach) - No backup path if link is broken - High percentage of bad frames in video transmission due to packet loss (link broken) - Multiple interruptions seen in video watched Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation

MT-MAODV Multiple Tree Multicast Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (MT-MAODV)  Goal: Provide Improved Video Quality  By: Discovering a new routing protocol  Using: Multiple Disjoint Trees MAODV Multiple Description Coding (MDC) Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation

MT-MAODV Reason for Multicast Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (MAODV) and Multiple Description Coding (MDC)  MAODV: Have: Mobility, Solution: Fault-Tolerant Framework Use Many Disjoint Trees (transform MAODV)  MDC: Have: Many Trees, Solution: Dividing the video into many equally and independent video description possible with MDC Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation

MT-MAODV MT-MAODV Algorithm  Goal: Construction of 2 disjoint trees  5 Statuses for nodes available: ON_GROUP: multicast group member ON_TREE_0 forwarding node of the 2 trees ON_TREE_1 forwarding node of tree 1 ON_TREE_2 forwarding node of tree 2 NOT_ON_TREE not tree member Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation

MT-MAODV MT-MAODV Algorithm ctd.  6 Steps Algorithm: Send RREQ_J by node wanting to join multicast group Forward RREQ_J by NOT_ON_TREE nodes Reply RREQ_J by group members Forward RREP_J to the requesting node Store RREP_J given shortest path Trees Activation sent by requesting node Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation

MT-MAODV MT-MAODV Algorithm Example  Multiple trees construction with multicast table for topology Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation

MT-MAODV MT-MAODV Algorithm Example  Multiple trees construction for node A Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation Considering GL is Group Leader Node A sends Join Request GL replies with 2 upstream nodes available: y and z Node A receives replies with both Tree fields as Zero so can select any of them for tree-1: node y and the other for tree-2: node z

MT-MAODV MT-MAODV Algorithm Example  Multiple trees construction for node B Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation Node B sends Join Request Node A replies with Tree field as Zero and Node z replies with Tree field as 2 Node B receives replies and chooses node A for tree-1 and node z for upstream of tree-2

MT-MAODV MT-MAODV Algorithm Example  Multiple trees construction for node C Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation Node C sends Join Request Three replies are returned: Node A replies with Tree field as Zero from node x and node w, Node B replies with Tree field as Zero from node v Node C receives replies and can chooses node x or w for tree-1 and node v for upstream of tree-2 because connecting to different Tree Members has higher priority

MT-MAODV MT-MAODV Algorithm Example  Multiple trees construction for node D Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation Node D sends Join Request As it has only 1 node connected to it, Node u will reply with Tree field as Zero from Node B Node D receives reply and chooses Node u for upstream of tree-1 and tree-2 because priority is given to tree connectivity rather than disjoint trees

MT-MAODV MT-MAODV Algorithm Example  After multiple trees construction completed, can fill in the table for topology Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation

MT-MAODV Evaluation  Video Quality Received Percentage of Bad Frames: - with MAODV and MDC: 2% improvement - with MT-MAODV: addition of 2% improvement A bad frame occurs when the 2 video descriptions sent on the 2 trees are not decodable at the same time Number of Interruptions: - with MAODV: more than 50 times - with MT-MAODV: less than 20 times Great improvement in this point! Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation

MT-MAODV Evaluation ctd.  Network View Number of Hops Traversed: - MT-MAODV has higher number than MAODV MAODV always chooses shortest path while MT-MAODV chooses 2 paths so increase by less than 1 hop Number Routing Control Packets: - MT-MAODV has higher number than MAODV Necessary in constructing and maintaining 2 trees Forwarding Efficiency: - MT-MAODV worse than MAODV Larger hops to be traversed in MT-MAODV Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation

Conclusion MT-MAODV  Fault-tolerant video transmission due to MDC  Improvement in the field of video multicast on ad hoc networks from the point of the video quality received  From the network view, can be considered as having open issues and future challenges so that the presented algorithm can be improved Monday, February 09, Marleine Mounir Daoud - Seminar Presentation
