This paper deals with the problem of joint multicast routing,scheduling,and call admission control in multiradio multi-channel wireless mesh networks.To heuristically solve this problem,we propose a cross-layer algorithm named “extended MIMCR with scheduling and call admission control phases (EMSC)”.Our model relies on the ondemand quality of service (QoS) multicast sessions,where each admitted session creates a unique tree with a required bandwidth.The proposed scheme extends the MIMCR algorithm to fairly schedule multiple non-interfering transmissions in the same time slot.It also exploits a call admission control mechanism to protect the QoS requirements of the multicast traffics.EMSC reduces the number of occupied time slots,with consideration of spatial reuse,both Intra-flow and Inter-flow interferences,and selecting the minimuminterference minimum-cost paths.This subsequently leads to better radio resource utilization and increases the network throughput.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the other algorithms and improves the network performance.
