Multicast communication has increasingly become common and indispensable for Network-on-Chip (NoC). Router is the key unit of NoC, but few of its implementations provide multicast communication directly. In this letter, we design a tree-based multicast router using differentiated subnetwork. Also, we propose a new deadlockfree routing algorithm to overcome the complex deadlock problem on NoC wh...

This document specifies an extension to the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) to use unicast feedback to a multicast sender. The proposed extension is useful for single-source multicast sessions such as Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) communication where the traditional model of many-to-many group communication is either not available or not desired. In addition, it can be applied to ...

Reliable many-to-many multicasting of messages is an integral part of group communication systems. Such systems typically employ a reliable multicast protocol that operates below the causal or total ordering layer of the protocol stack. In this paper, we present ARMP, a reliable manyto-many multicast protocol for group communication over wide-area ATM networks. We describe how the ATM environme...

For long-running or large-scale distributed programs, the ability to provide software fault-tolerance via checkpointing is valuable. For scalable systems, multicast communication is becoming a predominant communication paradigm. While some aspects of consistency and channel state are the same for both unicast and multicast protocols, the implementation of checkpointing systems differ. This pape...

An adhoc network is a collection of autonomous nodes with dynamically changing infrastructure. Multicast is a good mechanism for group communication. It can be used in the group oriented applications like video/audio conference, interactive group games, video on demand etc. The security problems obstruct the large deployment of the multicast communication model. Multicast data origin authentica...

The advent of ubiquitous computing and the proliferation of portable computing devices have raised the importance of mobile and wireless networking. At the same time, the popularity of group-oriented computing has grown tremendously. However, little has been accomplished to-date in bringing together the technologies for group-oriented communication and mobile networking. In particular, most mod...

To alleviate the explosive growth of data traffic caused by increased use smart devices, new transmission techniques are needed to increase utilization limited bandwidth resources and for providing high rates in future wireless networks. On other hand, due their flexibility autonomy, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) considered as a potential candidate support ubiquitous connectivity operate flyi...

multicast routing is one of the most important services in multi radio multi channel (mrmc) wireless mesh networks (wmn). multicast routing performance in wmns could be improved by choosing the best routes and the routes that have minimum interference to reach multicast receivers. in this paper we want to address the multicast routing problem for a given channel assignment in wmns. the channels...

Modern System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms typically consist of multiple processors and a communication interconnect between them. Network-on-Chip (NoC) arises as a solution to interconnect these systems, which provides a scalable, reusable, and an efficient interconnect. For these SoC platforms, multicast communication is significantly used for parallel applications. Cache coherency in distributed ...
