The January 2023 Toronto Section meeting covered multicast network design and monitoring workflows within the broadcast content distribution sectors of our industries. Multicast signal is no doubt becoming more popular, concern often seems to be apparent knowledge deficit, whether from someone with a background needing know about networking options or an IT professional requirements. Four prese...

Guaranteeing operational connectivity in emergency situations by means of prompt on-demand network re-configuration is crucial to carry out effective public protection and disaster relief actions. This article analyzes configuration options enhanced the integrated access backhaul (IAB) feature for 5G-Advanced beyond mission-critical services. We specifically aim investigate possible interplay s...

IP Multicast is an eecient mechanism of delivering a large amount of data to a group of members over the Internet. Link sharing is achieved by a multicast tree that connects all group members. Mobile IP is the proposed standard for IP mobility support and provides two schemes for mobile hosts to receive multicast packets, either through tunneling from the home agent (called home subscription) o...

In order that multicast routing characteristics are reflected under wireless environments, multicast routing metric is required for qualifying the multicast tree cost in wireless multi-hop mesh networks. We design a new multicast routing metric called the multicast-tree transmission ratio which quantifies the multicast tree cost, considering the link quality of wireless multicast channels as we...
