A Multiple Access Scheme Using Cross Layer Approach on Mobile Networks

摘要

Content distribution in general and multicasting in particular, over a wired network to static hosts can be realized by placing porixes and gateways at several parts of the network. However, if the end hosts are mobile over heterogeneous wireless access networks, one needs to consider many operational issues such as network detection, handoff, join and leave latency and desired level of quality of service, as well as caching and load balancing.
