This paper presents several techniques for broadcasting multimedia data (audio and video) over the Internet. Internet broadcasting (also called webcasting) techniques have become very important in applications such as Internet (or Web) radio and television, realtime broadcasting of critical data (such as stock prices), distance learning, videoconferencing, and many others. We describe the curre...

Ad hoc wireless networks are growing in popularity and usefulness, however they rely on broadcasting as a fundamental process for routing. Improvements to broadcasting have made ad hoc networks more feasible, but sometimes benefit only specific situations. A history and comparison of broadcasting implementations will be explored, as well as how they relate to some key ad hoc on-demand routing p...

This paper deals with the problem of broadcasting in minimum time in the telephone and message-passing models. Approximation algorithms are developed for arbitrary graphs as well as for several restricted graph classes. In particular, an O(vfvT)-additive approximation algorithm is given for broadcasting in general graphs, and an O(log n/ log log n) (multiplicative) ratio approximation is given ...

The proposed scheme of pyramid broadcasting is a new way of rendering Video On Demand service at metropolitan scale. In pyramid broadcasting, the most frequently requested movies are multiplexed on the broadcast network, resulting in radical improvement of access time and e cient bandwidth utilization. We provide analytical and experimental evaluations of pyramid broadcasting based on its imple...
