We study the delay minimization in a direct multicast communication scheme where a base station wishes to transmit a set of original packets to a group of clients. Each of the clients already has in its cache a subset of the original…
Maddah-Ali and Niesen's original coded caching scheme for shared-link broadcast networks is now known to be optimal to within a factor two, and has been applied to other types of networks. For practical reasons, this paper considers that a…
Wireless sensor networks and Ad-hoc network in the region Multicast (Geocasting) means to deliver the message to all nodes in a given geographical area from the source point. Regional Multicast practical application of the specified area…
Recently, edge caching and multicasting arise as two promising technologies to support high-data-rate and low-latency delivery in wireless communication networks. In this paper, we design three transmission schemes aiming to minimize the…
In this study, we consider a quantum version of multicast network coding as a multicast protocol for sending universal quantum clones (UQCs) from a source node to the target nodes on a quantum network. By extending Owari et al.'s previous…
Broadcast protocols are programs designed to be executed by networks of processes. Each process runs the same protocol, and communication between them occurs in synchronously in two ways: broadcast, where one process sends a message to all…
Multicast is the ability of a communication network to accept a single message from an application and to deliver copies of the message to multiple recipients at different location. With the development of Internet, Multicast is widely…
Many distributed systems work on a common shared state; in such systems, distributed agreement is necessary for consistency. With an increasing number of servers, these systems become more susceptible to single-server failures, increasing…
Message forwarding protocols are protocols in which a chain of agents handles transmission of a message. Each agent forwards the received message to the next agent in the chain. For example, TLS middleboxes act as intermediary agents in…
Atom is an anonymous messaging system that protects against traffic-analysis attacks. Unlike many prior systems, each Atom server touches only a small fraction of the total messages routed through the network. As a result, the system's…
Conventional block-based multicast authentication schemes overlook the heterogeneity of receivers by letting the sender choose the block size, divide a multicast stream into blocks, associate each block with a signature, and spread the…
Mass live content, such as world cups, the Superbowl or the Olympics, attract audiences of hundreds of millions of viewers. While such events were predominantly consumed on TV, more and more viewers follow big events on the Internet, which…
Application layer multicast (ALM) also called Overlay Multicast, is an attractive alternative solution to most of the problems associated with IP multicast. In ALM, multicast-related functionalities are moved to end-hosts. Application layer…
We consider the problem of establishing minimum-cost multicast connections over coded packet networks, i.e. packet networks where the contents of outgoing packets are arbitrary, causal functions of the contents of received packets. We…
While linearizability is a fundamental correctness condition for distributed systems, ensuring the linearizability of implementations can be quite complex. An essential aspect of linearizable implementations of concurrent objects is the…
Agreement plays a central role in distributed systems working on a common task. The increasing size of modern distributed systems makes them more susceptible to single component failures. Fault-tolerant distributed agreement protocols rely…
A multiple access channel describes a situation in which multiple senders are trying to forward messages to a single receiver using some physical medium. In this paper we consider scenarios in which this medium consists of just a single…
A multiple access channel (MAC) consists of multiple senders simultaneously transmitting their messages to a single receiver. For the classical-quantum case (cq-MAC), achievable rates are known assuming that all the messages are decoded, a…
An atomic cross-chain swap is a distributed coordination task where multiple parties exchange assets across multiple blockchains, for example, trading bitcoin for ether. An atomic swap protocol guarantees (1) if all parties conform to the…
Low-latency communication is currently attracting significant attention due to the emergence of mission-critical Internet of Things (IoT) applications and content-centric services. A deep understanding of the delay performance is essential…
