RTMC: An Error Control Protocol for IP-based Audio-Visual Multicast Applications

چکیده
Transport of Audio Visual Data is becoming an important application of the IP-based best-effort service in the Internet. We present an error control protocol for provision of a real-time reliable multicast transport service. The protocol RTMC (Real-Time MultiCast) uses Forward Error Correction (FEC) for protecting first transmissions (i.e., proactive error control) and retransmissions. Results of the performance evaluation show that RTMC error control imposes low latency, and is scalable to a large number of receivers.

Survey of Error Recovery Techniques for IP- based Audio-Visual Multicast Applications
IP-based audio-visual multicast applications are gaining increasing interest since they can be realised using inexpensive network services that offer no guarantees for loss or delay. When using network services that do not guarantee the Quality of Service (QoS) required by audio-visual applications, the recovery from losses due to congestion in the network is a key problem that must be solved. ...
متن کاملReal-time multicast for wireless multihop networks
Wireless multicast for multihop ad-hoc networks ensures that the same information is delivered efficiently to multiple recipients simultaneously. However, existing protocols ignore the real-time nature of many wireless applications such as real-time video and audio communications in mesh and ad-hoc networks. Further, devices in such networks are typically energy-constrained, i.e., multicast pro...
