The problem of finding a spanning forest of a graph in a distributed-processing environment is studied. If an input graph is weighted, then the goal is to find a minimum-weight spanning forest. The processors communicate by broadcasting.…
Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks must define multicast capabilities in order to efficiently support numerous applications, such as video conferencing and distributed applications, in addition to LAN emulation (LANE) and Internet…
Application-layer multicast implements the multicast functionality at the application layer. The main goal of application-layer multicast is to construct and maintain efficient distribution structures between endhosts. In this paper we…
In this paper, a streaming transmission setup is considered where an encoder observes a new message in the beginning of each block and a decoder sequentially decodes each message after a delay of $T$ blocks. In this streaming setup, the…
Entanglement has the ability to enhance the transmission of classical information over a quantum channel. However, fully harvesting this advantage typically requires complex entangling measurements, which are challenging to implement and…
In a blockchain system, nodes regularly distribute data to other nodes. The ideal perspective taken in the scientific literature is that data is broadcast to all nodes directly, while in practice data is distributed by repeated multicast.…
This paper introduces the \emph{RoboCast} communication abstraction. The RoboCast allows a swarm of non oblivious, anonymous robots that are only endowed with visibility sensors and do not share a common coordinate system, to asynchronously…
Effective capacity, which provides the maximum constant arrival rate that a given service process can support while satisfying statistical delay constraints, is analyzed in a multiuser scenario. In particular, the effective capacity region…
This paper develops and evaluates the performance of an advanced multiple access protocol for transmission of full complement of multimedia signals consisting of various combinations of voice, video, data, text and images over wireless…
Multicast data transfers occur in many distributed systems and applications (e.g. IPTV, Grids, content delivery networks). Because of this, efficient multicast data distribution optimization techniques are required. In the first part of…
Modern applications often operate on data in multiple administrative domains. In this federated setting, participants may not fully trust each other. These distributed applications use transactions as a core mechanism for ensuring…
This paper addresses a multi-criteria decision method properly designed to effectively evaluate the most performing strategy for multicast content delivery in Long Term Evolution (LTE) and beyond systems. We compared the legacy…
With the rise of service-oriented computing, applications are more and more based on coordination of autonomous services. Envisioned over largely distributed and highly dynamic platforms, expressing this coordination calls for alternative…
Low-latency message delivery is crucial for real-time systems. Data originating from a producer must be delivered to consumers, potentially distributed in clusters across metropolitan and continental boundaries. With the growing scale of…
While acoustic communications have been considered the prominent technology to communicate under water for several years, other technologies are being developed based, e.g., on optical and radio-frequency electro-magnetic waves. Each…
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has shown potential for scalable multicast of video data. However, one key drawback for NOMA-based video multicast is the limited number of layers allowed by the embedded successive interference…
This paper studies the delay constrained multicast capacity of large scale mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We consider a MANET consists of $n_s$ multicast sessions. Each multicast session has one source and $p$ destinations. The wireless…
Wireless object tracking applications are gaining popularity and will soon utilize emerging ultra-low-power device-to-device communication. However, severe energy constraints require much more careful accounting of energy usage than what…
Geocast is the concept of sending data packets to nodes in a specified geographical area instead of nodes with a specific address. To route geocast messages to their destination we need a geographic routing algorithm that can route packets…
This paper analyzes the performance and energy efficiency of Netcast, a recently proposed optical neural-network architecture designed for edge computing. Netcast performs deep neural network inference by dividing the computational task…
