IP-multicast is a bandwidth efficient transmission mechanism for group communications. Reliability in IP-multicast, however, poses a set of significant challenges. To address the ...
This paper describes the Multicast Shared Tree Protocol MSTP that has been designed to support the delivery of multicast packets in a mobile ad hoc network. MSTP uses a shared tre...
Abstract— This paper investigates the reliability of applicationlevel multicast based on a distributed hash table (DHT) in a highly dynamic network. Using a node residual lifetim...
Forward Error Correction (FEC) has been proposed as a technique for implementing efficient reliable multicast (RM). However, FEC incurs costs in encode/decode delay and implementa...
A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is composed of mobile nodes without any infrastructure. Mobile nodes self-organize to form a network over radio links. The goal of MANETs is to ext...
