CENTRALIZED APPLICATION LEVEL MULTICASTING WITH PEER ASSISTED APPLICATION LEVEL FEEDBACK FOR SCALABLE MULTIMEDIA DATA DISTRIBUTION IN WIFI MIRACAST

摘要

Methods devices systems and non transitory process readable storage media for scalable data service distribution in WiFi Miracast. A processor of a source computing device in a WiFi Miracast network may group all sink computing devices scheduled to receive a frame or packet of a service into a single multicast group and transmit a multicast frame or packet to the sink computing devices. Individual sink computing devices in a WiFi Miracast network may be configured to send error logs indicating the quality of their respective wireless connections with a source computing device to the source computing device. A source computing device may add multicast group member sink computing devices to a unicast group based at least in part on missing and/or received error logs from the multicast group member sink computing devices.
