Enhancing Application Layer Multicast Solutions by Wireless Underlay Support

Abstract. Application Layer Multicast (ALM) is an attractive solution to overcome the deployment problems of IP-Multicast. We show how to cope with the challenges of incorporating wireless devices into ALM protocols. As a first approach we extend the NICE protocol, significantly increasing its performance in scenarios with many devices connected through wireless LAN.
