Splitting schedules for Internet broadcast communication

Splitting schedules for internet broadcast communication

The broadcast disk provides an effective way to transmit information from a server to many clients. Work has been done to schedule the broadcast of information in a way that minimizes the expected waiting time of the clients. Much of this work has treated the information as indivisible blocks. We look at splitting items into smaller pieces that need not be broadcast consecutively. This allows u...

Anti-Jamming Schedules for Wireless Broadcast Systems

Modern society is heavily dependent on wireless networks for providing voice and data communications. Wireless data broadcast has recently emerged as an attractive way to disseminate data to a large number of clients. In data broadcast systems, the server proactively transmits the information on a downlink channel; the clients access the data by listening to the channel. Wireless data broadcast...

Designing Broadcast Schedules for Information Dissemination through Broadcasting

Broadcast data delivery is encountered in many applications where there is a need to disseminate information to a large user community in a wireless asymmetric communication environment. In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling the data broadcast such that average response time experienced by the users is low. In a push-based system, where the users cannot place requests directly to...

Broadcast authentication for group communication

Traditional point-to-point message authentication systems have been extensively studied in the literature. In this paper, we consider authentication systems for group communication. The basic primitive is a multireceiver authentication system with dynamic senders (DMRA-code). In a DMRA-code any member of the group can broadcast an authenticated message to the rest of the group such that every o...
