Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) is identified as an emerging field for the researchers to work on, as there is a huge increase of mobile users nowadays. Applications such as emergency searches, recues, military battlefields, etc., uses the MANET, as it is not possible to establish a fixed network for communication. Especially multicast routing has been preferred to satisfy such needs since same information can be transmitted to a group of users. Even though, many multicast routing protocols had been proposed, still the performance of the multicast routing protocol is lacking to achieve reliability and scalability in MANET while transmitting a packet to multiple users. In this paper, we have proposed a multicast routing protocol to improve the Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) with minimum control overhead and delay based on intelligent data analysis techniques such as Radial Basis Function (RBF). The main aim of the analysis is used to identify the probability of optimum forwarding group node based on the information augmented with the JOIN_QUERY packet. The performance evolution shows that the proposed approach ensures the PDR and reduction in control overhead significantly.
