Although IP-multicast has been proposed and investigated for years, there are major problems inherent in the IP-multicasting technique, e.g., difficulty to scale up the system, di...
Abstract - Overlay multicast, which performs topology construction and data relaying in the application layer, has recently emerged as a promising vehicle for data distribution. In...
We consider the optimization of multicast over packet-switched communication networks with a non-zero packet-loss probability. For the system setup consisting of a number of multi...
—The design of optimal opportunistic multicast scheduling (OMS) that maximizes the throughput of cellular networks is investigated. In a cellular network, the base station (BS) t...
— In reliable multicast, data packets can be cached at some nodes such as repair servers for future possible retransmission in loss recovery schemes. How to cache packets to opti...
