Abstract

In this study we have proposed a new energy efficient routing protocol is MTMP (Mesh and Tree based Multicast Protocol). It is a combination of the routing scheme of tree and Mesh. The main mission of this protocol is minimized the Energy dissipation in Mobile Ad-hoc network. The Previous routing protocols use knowledge of past encounters to forecast future contacts, this problem is trounced by MTMP. It is established and maintain an active multicast tree surrounded by a passive mesh within a mobile ad hoc network. The multicast mesh is created by using the route discovery concept. Pruning mechanism is used to eliminate the redundancies of mesh that is created by the route discovery approach and it creates the multicast tree. The proposed protocol is achieved to efficient storage, lifetime of the node is increased to maximum. It achieves not only higher delivery rates but shorter delivery delays. The performance of the MTMP scheme is simulated over a large number of nodes in the MANET with a wide range of mobility. The efficiency of the proposed scheme is superior compare to other leading multicast routing protocol.
