Our aim is to investigate reliable transmission for multicast communication and explore its relationship to multicast routing. We derive two characterizations that enable the comp...
The expected number of transmissions is a very important parameter to evaluate the multicast performance. It is often used to estimate the bandwidth consumption of tree-based reli...
We investigate how FEC (Forward Error Correction) can be combined with ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) to achieve scalable reliable multicast transmission. We consider the two scen...
—Multicasting is useful for various applications such as multimedia broadcasting. In current 802.11, multicast frames are sent as broadcast frames at a low transmission rate with...
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: ...
