Abstract

This paper studies the delay constrained multicast capacity of large-scale mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We consider a MANET that consists of ns multicast sessions. Each multicast session has one source and p destinations. Each source sends identical information to the p destinations in its multicast session, and the information is required to be delivered to all the p destinations within D time-slots. Assuming the wireless mobiles move according to a 2-D independently and identically distributed mobility model, we first prove that the capacity per multicast session is O(min {1, (log p)(log (nsp)) (D/ns)1/2).1 We then propose a joint coding/scheduling algorithm achieving a throughput of Θ (min {1,(D/ns)1/2). Our simulation results suggest that the same scaling law also holds under random walk and random waypoint models.
