In this paper, we propose a novel advanced multirate design for evolved Multimedia
Multicast/Broadcast Service (eMBMS) in fourth generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution …

Multicast, transmitting packets from one source to a group of destinations, is a popular
service in Internet and now in the datacenter network. However, a unified multicast algorithm …

While network-level multicast has tremendous potential for increasing the efficiency of group-
oriented applications, the adoption of network-level multicast has been tepid at best. In this …
