Ecast: An enhanced video transmission design for wireless multicast systems over fading channels

Z Zhang, D Liu, X Ma, X Wang - IEEE Systems Journal, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Conventional wireless video multicast schemes face a challenge due to their stair-shaped
performance curves called “cliff effect” and the limited ability to accommodate multiple users …

Block negative acknowledgement protocol for reliable multicast in IEEE 802.11

Y Daldoul, DE Meddour, T Ahmed… - Journal of Network and …, 2016 - Elsevier
The default multicast transport of the IEEE 802.11 standard does not use any feedback
policy to detect and retransmit missing packets. Consequently, it has a limited reliability. In …

Impact of device unavailability on the reliability of multicast transport in IEEE 802.11 networks

Y Daldoul, DE Meddour, T Ahmed, R Boutaba - Computer Networks, 2015 - Elsevier
Multicast transport is an efficient solution to deliver the same content simultaneously to many
receivers. This transport mode is mainly used these days to deliver real-time video streams …

An analytical comparison of the block NAK protocol and the IEEE 802.11 aa feedback policy for a reliable multicast transport in the WLAN

Y Daldoul, T Ahmed… - 2013 IEEE Symposium on …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The IEEE 802.11 standard does not define any feedback policy for the multicast transport.
Hence missing multicast packets are not retransmitted and are definitely lost. In this paper …
