Abstract:

During multicasting in cognitive radio ad hoc network (CRAHN), apart from energy consumption, interchannel interference, path delay, and channel switching delay should be minimized. The channel selection should be done, based on spectrum opportunities and channel quality. Hence, the multicast routing problem becomes a multiconstrained QoS routing problem. This paper proposes optimal relay and channel selection schemes (ORCS) for multiconstrained QoS multicast routing in CRAHNs. For multicast tree construction, distributed minimum spanning tree (DMST) is used. For meeting the delay, energy, and interference constraints, relay nodes are chosen with minimum path delay, less energy consumption, and minimum interference. For effective channel assignment, channels with good channel quality, maximum spectrum accessibility, and sufficient common slots are selected. By simulation results, it has been shown that the proposed ORCS minimize the energy consumption and end-to-end delay.
