  Abstract

There are two approaches, HA(Home Agent)-based and FA(Foreign Agent)-based multicasting in mobile computing environments based on mobile IP. If we consider efficiency of routing and bandwidth, the FA-based model is better than the HA-based model. But, in the case of a MH(Mobile Host) moves frequently, it shows bad connection durability because of join and graft delays. To overcome this and to support effective mobile multicasting, we propose an extended FA-based multicast routing. In our model, previous FA forwards multicast packets to MH, while new FA processes a join request from MH. That is, in general case, our model supports FA-based multicasting for efficiency but it provides unicast-based multicasting for connection durability when MH moves to new FN(Foreign Network). To evaluate our model, we analyze connection durability, bandwidth, overheads and routing costs in many situations and compare with previous works.
