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...

Over the last several years, there has been an explosion in the introduction of new Internet technologies. Whereas the Internet in its original form was a medium primarily for academia and research interests, the Internet has been redefined as business and consumer interests have dominated the focal points of Internet technology. The dominant question facing the Internet today is, how can the n...

Recent research has proposed methods for enhancing the performance of multicast in networks with irregular topologies. These methods fall into two broad categories: (a) network interface (NI) based schemes that make use of enhanced functionality of the software/firmware running at the NI processor, and (b) switch-based methods that use enhancements to the switch architecture to support hardware...

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) provide a reliable and a scalable solution for multicasting. This paper proposes a framework called Multicast Framework for Bandwidth management in WMN (MFBW) which combines the advantages of Shortest Path Tree (SPT) and Minimum Cost Tree (MCT) algorithm for efficient multicasting with optimal use of

Multicasting, where a message is sent from one processor to number of other processors, can optimise the communication for data-parallel functional computing. This paper describes the introduction of two multicast primitives in the functional language Concurrent Clean. The usage and performance are showed, with special emphasis on the usage in combination with distributed arrays. In a data-para...

In this paper, we propose a generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) for polynomial matrices, or GSVD (PGSVD). We then consider PGSVD-based beamforming two-user, frequency-selective, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multicasting. The PGSVD can jointly factorize two frequency-selective MIMO channels, producing set of virtual channels (VCs), split into: private (PCs) and common (CCs)....
