Multicast is essential for wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. Existing multicast protocols in WSNs are often designed in a P2P pattern, assuming small number of destination nodes and frequent changes in net...
This paper presents a new reliable MAC protocol called “RMAC”supporting reliable multicast for wireless ad hoc networks. By utilizing the busy tones to realize the multicast reliability, RMAC has three novelties: ...

A very inexpensive receive-only satellite receiver can receive high bandwidth traffic from a feeder. Therefore the connection between the feeder and the receiver is uni-directional. The existing routing protocols, suc...
This paper proposes a new approach for implementing fast multicast on multistage interconnection networks (MINs) with multi-head worms. For an MIN with n stages of k×k switches, a single multi-head worm can cover an ...
Multicast capability, including multicast address and multicast rout- ing mechanisms, at the network layer is necessary in order to reduce the band- width requirements of multiparty, multicast applications. Based on h...
