چکیده
The evolution of satellite applications has created new traffic patterns on the satellite links. That is because the number of users demanding service from the satellite links has increased tremendously. The latter results in a more sophisticated usage of resources. One way of accomplishing that is the use of multicasting, which is a natural extension of the broadcast nature of satellite medium. Numerous of the existing satellite applications demand reliable delivery of the transmitted data, which is opposed to the unreliable nature of the multicast transmission due to the error prone satellite medium. In this work we have designed a numerous of reliable multicasting protocols which are based on forward error correction (FEC) and air caching. The combination of those two techniques, results on a significant boost in the performance of reliable multicasting protocols.

A New Method based on Intelligent Water Drops for Multicast Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
In recent years a new type of wireless networks named wireless mesh networks has drawn the attention of researchers. In order to increase the capacity of mesh network, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi channel wireless mesh networks. Therefore, the main challenge of these networks is how to properly assign the channels to the radios. O...
متن کاملDesign of a Scalable Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol on the Design of a New Scalable Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol
This document presents the design and performance evaluation of a scalable, reliable, oneto-many multicast transport protocol. We show through simulation that it scales extremely well to a very big number of receivers. The server load (in terms of CPU and memory) is nearly independent of the number of receivers. Reliability is achieved using forward error correction (FEC) in combination with se...
متن کاملMulticast via Satellite : Uni - directionalvs . Bi - directional
We investigate reliable multicast communication over satellite networks. We compare a scenario where receivers can use a feedback channel to signal loss to a scenario where no feedback channel is available. We show that the introduction of a feedback channel is the key to allow for bandwidth-eecient, robust, and fully reliable multicast communication via satellite.

In this paper, we propose a transport layer protocol for one-to-many multicast that is designed to have good scalability properties in large receiver groups and provides reliable transmission. Reliability is achieved using forward error correction (FEC) in combination with selective repeat NAK-based ARQ. Using FEC can signiicantly reduce the necessity for retransmission requests or make them to...
