Aimed at the problem that the existing media access control(MAC)protocols for multihop multicast in the wireless mesh networks(WMNs)are lack of reliability and efficiency
a layer-divided beacon-driven leader based protocol(Layer-BLBP)is proposed based on the wireless local area networks MAC-Layer beacon-driven leader based protocol(BLBP). One single round multicasting is divided into some sub-layers by each hop
and a leader is selected in each sub-layer. The Layer-BLBP uses acknowledge frames and non-acknowledge frames feedback and collision to ensure reliability of multicasting
and adopts sub-layer coordination to enhance the performance. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that Layer-BLBP is reliable for multihop multicast in WMNs. Comparisons with BLBP and other existing MAC-Layer protocols show that the efficiency of the Layer-BLBP is increased by at least 10% when the node error rate is beyond 10%.
