Abstract
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) represent a practical application of wireless ad-hoc networks, where nodes establish direct communication with each other, forming a self-configuring network without the need for a centralized infrastructure. In this context, the integration of node-to-node and node-to-roadside communication designs within MANETs has proven to be instrumental in enhancing road safety, enabling efficient routing, and facilitating various roadside services. These communication capabilities among nodes serve as a foundation for the envisioned implementation of MANETs within Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).To address the challenges of dynamic multicast communication in MANETs, a novel multicast routing protocol is proposed in this research. The protocol defines all relevant parameters and develops an algorithm to achieve the desired objectives efficiently. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through extensive simulations, which demonstrate the protocol's ability to find nearly optimal solutions. By adopting the Dynamic Multicast Routing Protocol (DMRP), the network model achieves its best configuration while significantly reducing the cost of Roadside Units (RSUs), which are essential components in ITS. The researchers implemented and simulated the proposed protocol using MATLAB 8.3 software. The simulated results revealed several advantages of the DMRP, including improved throughput, reduced end-to-end delays, and enhanced packet delivery ratios. These findings indicate that the proposed protocol outperforms existing approaches and holds promise for improving the overall performance and efficiency of mobile ad hoc networks in the context of Intelligent Transportation Systems.
