On Achieving the Maximum Streaming Rate in Hybrid Wired/Wireless Overlay Networks
Jianwei Zhang, Xinchang Zhang, Meng Sun, Chunling Yang · IEEE Wireless Communications Letters · 2018
In this letter, we study the multicast streaming problem in a fully connected hybrid wired/wireless overlay. We derive explicit formulas for the maximum streaming rate and the hybrid multiplicity using a flow-based method. The considered model supports both full-duplex and half-duplex modes, and incorporates equal service and differentiated service in a unified framework. The obtained results have theoretical and practical significance in wired/wireless content distribution.
