MChannel: Topology-Aware Group Communication Middleware for MANETs
M-Channel is a Topology-Aware Group Communication Middleware for MANETs based on the JGroups Tookit. We have modified the JGroups protocol stack to incorporate two protocols: jOLSR and OMOLSR. jOLSR is a Java implementation of theMANET OLSR unicast protocol using UDP. On top of it, we have developed an overlay Multicast protocol (OMOLSR) that directly benefits from the jOLSR protocol to improve communication efficiency.
In our middleware, group membership is obtained from the overlay multicast protocol (OMOLSR), failure detection is received from the jOLSR protocol, and our modified flow control protocol benefits from jOLSR topology information.
You can check out the code and the documentation of the project at: http://ast-deim.urv.cat/mchannel/
