Abstract
Last decade has seen a tremendous growing interest in wireless and mobile multimedia IP networking. As a consequence, the number and variety of devices allowing an Internet access has grown impressively and easily-transportable mobile devices have received an enormous success. More and more, new products are launched with an Internet access possibility and the trend now is the ability to get connected anywhere, anytime, anyhow. But, achieving such a task implicates an increasing complexity of the networking and service management. The fundamental multimedia applications, for which multicasting is the predominant delivery technique, need to be provided in a mobile environment. In this paper, we investigate the issues arising from the interoperation of mobile and multicasting mechanisms, focusing on specific multimedia constraints. From then, we propose an innovative protocol for an efficient delivery of multimedia services to desired mobile terminals. A solution for an anywhere, anytime, anyhow connection is hence presented.
