In this letter, we study dynamic multicasting in GMPLS networks with unequal branching capability. An overlapped multicasting tree is proposed to reduce blocking probability, which can utilize the branching capabilities more efficiently than the traditional Steiner tree. A nearest node branch first heuristic is developed to find such an overlapped tree. key words: routing, multicast, branching ...

In this paper, we propose a new multicast routing protocol, named weight-based clustering multicast protocol (WCMP), for mobile ad hoc networks. The goal of this work is to improve multicasting performance in ad hoc networks by efficient use of the available knowledge of the networks. Keyword—multicasting, routing, mobile ad hoc networks

Multicasting of quantum states is an essential feature internet. Since the noncloning theorem prohibits perfect cloning unknown state, appropriate protocol may depend on purpose multicast. In this paper, we treat multicasting a single copy state over network with free classical communication. We especially focus protocols exactly asymmetric optimal universal clone. Hence, these are and in terms...

Guaranteeing operational connectivity in emergency situations by means of prompt on-demand network re-configuration is crucial to carry out effective public protection and disaster relief actions. This article analyzes configuration options enhanced the integrated access backhaul (IAB) feature for 5G-Advanced beyond mission-critical services. We specifically aim investigate possible interplay s...

Cyclic best-effort multicast supports reliable multicast transport by sending information repeatedly. The authors present forward error correcting (FEC) cyclic best-effort multicast which transmits FEC encoded redundant data as well as original data. FEC cyclic multicasting reduces the number of packet transmissions at least by half compared to plain cyclic multicasting.
