Multicast Multiaccess Algorithm with Forward Error Correction for Mobile Users
Svetlana Boudko, Wolfgang Leister · 2015
Mobile devices are typically equipped with multiple access network interfaces, supporting the coexistence of heterogeneous wireless access networks. The selection of an optimal set of multiple serving mobile networks for multicast streams is NP-hard and is, therefore, a challenging problem. We propose and evaluate a simple heuristic algorithm that provides configuration of multicast groups for a given network topology and network conditions. We consider that a forward error correction technique is applied to deal with packet loss of the wireless communication.
