چکیده (انگلیسی):

The recent multimedia applications and services are very demanding in terms of Quality of Service (QoS).
This creates new challenges in ensuring QoS when delivering those services over wireless networks.
Motivated by the need of supporting high quality multicast applications in wireless ad hoc networks, we
propose a network topology that can minimize the power when connecting the source node to the
destination nodes in multicast sessions with the respect of the QoS provisions. We formulated the problem
as integer linear programming problem with a set of energy and QoS constraints. We minimize the total
power of energy used by nodes while satisfying QoS constraints (Bandwidth and maximum delay) that are
crucial to wireless ad hoc network performance.
