With rapid developments in communications technology and digital multimedia, there has been increasing demand in recent years for realistic broadcasting technology beyond conventional audio-visual media. In response to this demand, this paper presents an example of the construction of a haptic-enabled broadcasting system based on the MPEG-V standard that was established recently. The constructi...

In this report we present a simple and stateless broadcasting protocol called Dynamic Delayed Broadcasting (DDB) which allows locally optimal broadcasting without any knowledge about the neighborhood. As DDB does not require any transmissions of control messages, it conserves critical network resources such as battery power and bandwidth. Local optimality is achieved by applying a principle of ...

This paper presents a method for fault-tolerant broadcasting in faulty hypercubes using a new metric called local safety. A new concept of the broadcast subcube is introduced, based on which various techniques are proposed to improve the performance of a broadcast algorithm. An unsafe hypercube can be split into a set of maximal safe subcubes. We show that if these maximal safe subcubes meet ce...

This paper addresses the one-to-all broadcasting problem, and the one-to-many broadcasting problem, usually simply called broadcasting and multicasting, respectively. In this paper, we study these problems under both line model, and cut-through model. The former assumes long distance calls between non neighboring processors. The latter completes the line model by taking into account the use of ...

Video broadcasting protocols can improve the efficiency of video on demand services by reducing the bandwidth required to distribute the videos that are simultaneously watched by many viewers While many broadcasting protocols have been proposed, none of them takes into account the fact that the server will broadcast compressed videos whose bandwidth requirements depend on the rate of change of ...

We present QoS Geometric Broadcast Protocol (QoS-GBP), a novel broadcasting protocol for heterogeneous wireless ad hoc networks. The growing number of multimedia applications over wireless ad hoc networks require low delay from network protocols and in particular from broadcasting. While broadcasting is a very energy-expensive protocol, it is also widely used as a building block for a variety o...

A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network is a kind of ad-hoc network, and is a self-configuring network of vehicular routers connected by wireless links. Vanet presents new and promising field of research, development and standardization. Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network is a wireless network without infrastructure. Reliable broadcasting in vehicular ad-hoc networks is one of the keys to success for services and app...
