چکیده

This paper exploits Application Layer Forward Error Correction (AL-FEC) based on Raptor codes to achieve for reliable video multicast over 802.11n multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) channels. The system performance and cross-layer optimisation parameters are analysed for spatial multiplexing (SM) waveforms under different channel conditions and quality of service requirements. Results show that the transmission efficiency and reliability of the SM system can be significantly improved when AL-FEC codes are employed. Improvements of up to 8 dB in terms of SNR were observed depending on the channel condition, chosen modulation and coding scheme and Raptor code rate. Moreover, at low SNR and for channels with low spatial correlation, the performance of SM with AL-FEC code shows better performance than that of STBC. Keywords— Raptor codes; MIMO; spatial multiplexing; space-time block coding; reliable multicast; IEEE 802.11 WLAN

Reliable and Efficient Multicast Protocol for MPEG - 4 Transmissions over IEEE 802.11n

© 2015, IJCSMC All Rights Reserved 344 Abstract— Multicasting is the communication between single sender and multiple receivers. The legacy multicasting over the WLAN standard IEEE 802.11 has two problemspoor reliability and low transmission rates. Existing multicast protocols for 802.11 are not so efficient when they are used along with the frame aggregation of IEEE 802.11n WLANS. Therefore we...

A framework for realistic and systematic multicast performance evaluation

Previous multicast research often makes commonly accepted but unverified assumptions on network topologies and group member distribution in simulation studies. In this paper, we propose a framework to systematically evaluate multicast performance for different protocols. We identify a series of metrics, and carry out extensive simulation studies on these metrics with different topological model...

Design of a Scalable Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol on the Design of a New Scalable Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol

This document presents the design and performance evaluation of a scalable, reliable, oneto-many multicast transport protocol. We show through simulation that it scales extremely well to a very big number of receivers. The server load (in terms of CPU and memory) is nearly independent of the number of receivers. Reliability is achieved using forward error correction (FEC) in combination with se...

Effects of Interruptible Load on Decision Making of a Distribution Company in Competitive Environments

The main goal of this paper is to present a new day-ahead energy acquisition model for a distribution company (Disco) in a competitive electricity market environment with Interruptible Load (IL). The work formulates the Disco energy acquisition model as a bi-level optimization problem with some of real issues, and then studies and designs a Genetic Algorithm (GA) of this optimization problem to...
