Despite a decade of research and development, multicast has not yet been deployed on a global scale. Among the difficulties with the current infrastructure are intermulticast fai...
Layered coding is often proposed as a solution for ratebased congestion control of video transmission in heterogeneous environments. The problem addressed more specifically here i...
— The conventional wisdom has been that IP is the natural protocol layer for implementing multicast related functionality. However, more than a decade after its initial proposal,...
In this paper we present a general hybrid systems modeling framework to describe the flow of traffic in communication networks. To characterize network behavior, these models use...
Abstract—A multicast flow control framework for data traffic traversing both a wired and wireless network is proposed. Markov-modulated fluid (MMF) models are used for the rec...
