Abstract

This paper is focused on a new solution for congestion avoidance in ad hoc multicast routing by bearing the congestion situations. As the routing strategy belongs to Medium Access Level, the routing strategy is named Medium Access Level Multicast Routing short MALMR. MALMR is aimed at Congestion Avoidance in Multicast Mobile Ad hoc routing protocol. The present MAC level routing strategy is independent which can work with any multicast routing protocol irrespective of tree or mesh structure. During the study of MALMR performance, the MALMR tested along with On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol where simulation results proved that MALMR raises the performance of ODMRP in order of magnitude.
