Unlike most solutions that use a centralized multicast algorithm we use graph-theoretic approach to solve the problem in a distributed manner. After providing a globally optimal solution for the special case of single multicast session using omnidirectional antenna this approach leads us to a group of distributed algorithms for multiple multicast in WANETs using directional antennas. Experimental results show that our distributed multicast algorithms for directional communications outperform other centralized multicast algorithms significantly in terms of network lifetime for both single-session and multiple-session scenarios.

INTRODUCTION There is an increasing interest in wireless ad hoc networks in many application domains where instant infrastructure is needed and no central backbone system and administration like base stations and wired backbone in a cellular system exist.
