In this paper, we propose a new method to construct a semi-optimal QoS-aware multicast tree on MANET using distributed computation of the tree based on Genetic Algorithm (GA). This...
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a special type of wireless mobile networks which may lack continuous network connectivity. Multicast is an important routing function that suppor...
Network-wide broadcasting and multicasting are two important routing schemes used in group communications. In network-wide broadcasting, generated packets at the source node are di...
This paper explores the problems associated with the multicasting of continuous media to support multimedia group applications. The interaction between multicasting and the deliver...

One of the dominant questions facing the Internet today is, how can the network meet the needs of the users and their applications (QoS) while trying to keep such implementations s...
act 11 Overlay multicasting has been proposed for implementing multicast routing in the application layer as a practical alter12 native to IP multicasting. Since a packet in overla...

The use of Caching and Multicasting has been studied extensively in the context of terrestrial networks. However, the use of these technologies in a Direct Broadcast Satellite(DBS...
Despite its obvious suitability for distributed multimedia applications, multicasting has not yet found widespread application. Having analyzed shortcomings of today's approac...
