摘要：Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) have group of mobile users over a shared medium that can also offer group communications. In group-oriented communications, multicasting plays an important role. The combination of multicast services with ad-hoc environment introduces new challenges towards security issues. Clustering is an effective technique for group communication. Cluster formation involves election of a node as cluster head and it controls other nodes in the newly formed cluster. The joining or association and leaving or dissociation of nodes to and from clusters disturbs the stability of the network topology. This paper analyses the effect of mobility in dynamic multicast clusters, in which nodes uses multicast ODMRP routing protocol to collect its neighbours to form clusters. Simulation results show the performance in terms of throughput and average end-end delay under various network conditions.
