In this paper a survey of the research effort invested in the analysis of multicasting over
wireless access networks from the late nineties onwards is presented. The analysis is …

Multicast communications is an efficient mechanism for one-to-many transmissions over a
broadcast wireless channel, and is considered as a key technology for supporting emerging …

The growing demand for mobile multicast services, such as Internet Protocol television
(IPTV) and video streaming, requires effective radio resource management (RRM) to handle …

Future mobile broadband networks are characterized with high data rate and improved
coverage, which will enable real-time video multicast and broadcast services. Scalable …

We propose Opportunistic Layered Multicasting (OLM), a joint user scheduling and resource
allocation algorithm that provides enhanced quality and efficiency for layered video multicast …

In this paper, we study the utility-based resource allocation problem for layer-encoded IPTV
multicast service over WiMAX networks. In this problem, each video stream is encoded into …

Scalable video coding (SVC) is attractive technology for multicasting video to users with
different available transmission capacities. In this paper, we investigate the joint optimization …

Layer-based video coding, together with adaptive modulation and coding, is a promising
technique for providing real-time video multicast services on heterogeneous mobile devices …

Recently, mobile multimedia services have represented an increasingly large source of
revenue for the telecommunication industry. Subscribers are often interested in …

In this paper, we consider multi-quality multicast beamforming of a video stream from a multi-
antenna base station to multiple single-antenna users receiving different qualities of the …
