1. A mobile node of an ad hoc network, comprising:

  • a wireless communication interface configured to support ad hoc communications with a plurality of other mobile nodes;

    a memory configured to store multicast trees; and

    at least one automated processor configured to support at least a multicast communication through the wireless communication interface dependent on the stored multicast trees, and to select a communication path based on a composite function of at least a reliability metric and a communication data-overhead metric, wherein low data-overhead paths are selected with increasing probability with an increasing reliability.
