Multicast over wireless networks is an important and challenging goal, but several issues must be addressed before many group applications can be deployed on a large scale. Multicasting is a more ...

Abstract: Multicasting is a mechanism to send data to multiple receivers in an efficient way. We give a comprehensive survey on network and transport layer issues of Internet multicast. We begin with ...

Abstract: The quality of service multicast routing problem (QoSMRP) is a very interesting research issue for transmission in communication networks. It is known to be an NP-hard problem, so many ...

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a new paradigm of wireless network. Reliable and efficient unicast and multicast routing protocols are critical for VANETs. As a possible solution, opportunistic ...

The internet’s architecture today has a problem in routing information depending on what the receiver is interested in without knowing the sender and receiver addresses. As a result, the ...

Different multicast routing protocols construct their distribution trees based on the information obtained from the unicast routing infrastructure. Nevertheless, the design of most of these protocols ...
