In this paper, we study fault-tolerant multicasting in multistage interconnection networks (MINs) for constructing large-scale multicomputers. In addition to point-to-point routing among processor nodes, efficient multicasting is critical to the performance of multicomputers. This paper presents a new approach to provide fault-tolerance multicasting, which employs the restricted header encoding...

For stationary wireless ad hoc networks, one of the key challenging issues in routing and multicasting is to conserve as much energy as possible without compromising path efficiency measured as end-to-end delay. In this paper, we address the problem of path efficient and energy aware multicasting in static wireless ad hoc networks. We propose a novel distributed scalable algorithm for finding a...

Next generation of wireless networks will likely rely on large-scale antenna systems, either in the form of massive multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) or millimeter wave (mmWave) systems. Therefore, the conventional fully-digital precoders are not suitable for physical layer multicasting as they require a dedicated radio frequency chain per antenna element. In this paper, we show that in a multi-g...

A promising solution to increasing busty traffic over the Internet can be Optical Burst Switched (OBS) networks with scalable and efficient multicast support. The efficiency of multicasting in OBS networks depends on: the burstification process, the multicasting schemes, tree sharing strategies, construction of shared trees, multicast schemes for dynamic sessions and membership. In this article...

Advances in the areas of QoS and IP multicasting have necessitated the need of integration of these two important features of Internet. Differentiated services (DiffServ) has been proposed as a scalable Solution for supporting QoS in the Internet. Coexistence of multicasting and DiffServ is promising since the DiffServ model can provide a scalable framework and may reduce the computational comp...

In this paper we study Web multicasting, a service offered by satellite operators to Internet Service Providers around the world. This service employs satellite connections for disseminating periodically Web content to regional and “institutional” WWW caches. We propose a theoretical framework for Web multicasting and formalize the notions of Utility and QoS perceived by customers of Web multic...

Wireless Ad-hoc network is one of the most innovative network technologies which are carried out using multicasting applications in various domains. Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) provided higher structural security but did not provide multicasting packets in the wireless ad-hoc network. Works conducted on Resource Biasing Approach attained multi casting efficiency by incr...

Due to the growing demand for high definition music and video content, an overlay multicasting providing live streaming services has been gaining popularity over last years. In this paper, we focus on applying the overlay multicasting for delivering of critical data that require to be transmitted safely, intact and with as little delay as possible, e.g., financial data, software security patche...
