Abstract— In this paper, we consider the design of a reliable multicast facility over an unreliable multicast network. Our multicast facility has several interesting properties: ...
The characteristics of ad hoc networks naturally encourage the deployment of distributed services. Although current networks implement group communication methods, they do not sup...
Group communication is the basic infrastructure for implementing fault-tolerant replicated servers. While group communication is well understood in the context of static systems (...
We propose a new cryptographic technique, Acknowledgment Compression, permitting senders of multicast data to verify that all interested parties have either received the data or l...
One of the main characteristics of wireless ad hoc networks is their node-centric broadcast nature of communication, leading to interferences and spatial contention between adjace...
