Multicast Algorithms over Wireless Networks Using Network Coding: A Review

Abstract

Multicasting over wireless network has been an area of intensive research and many researchers have employed the use of algorithms for addressing multicast problems. With the fast development in technology and the use of multimedia applications, efficient multicasting over the internet is taking the center stage. For this back drop, the review of some multicast algorithms over wireless network becomes compulsory with the aim of addressing some of the challenges encountered and seeing the possibilities of implementing these algorithms in real time situations. In this paper, we have reviewed some multicast algorithms developed based on network coding based multicast with the view of recognizing some of their strengths and weakness in order to open wide areas for future research and applications.

Determination of Efficient bandwidth utilization During Multicast using Data Envelopment Analysis

“…Also, swarms were cooperative and peers in an abundant bandwidth swarm shared their bandwidths with peers in a limited bandwidth swarm. A pertinent review of some multicast algorithms over wireless networks with a view of identifying areas for further research was also studied by [16].…”
