Three-dimensional (3D) visual scenes with pluralities of graphic objects require considerable network bandwidth to be transmitted and computing power to be rendered on a user'...
Reliable multicast delivery requires that a multicast message be received by all members in a group. Hence certain or all members need to buffer messages for possible retransmissi...
A protocol for the reliable multicast of data to mobile hosts is described. A logical ring is maintained between all the base stations that handle the multicast traffic of the sam...
Abstract Due to complexity and intractability reasons, most of the analytical studies on the reliability of communication paths in mobile ad hoc networks are based on the assumptio...
