Maximizing Broadcast And Multicast Traffic Load Through Link-Rate Diversity In Wireless Mesh Networks, Chun Tung Chou, Bao Hua Liu, Archan Misra

This paper studies some of the fundamental challenges and opportunities associated with the network-layer broadcast and multicast in a multihop multirate wireless mesh network (WMN). In particular, we focus on exploiting the ability of nodes to perform link-layer broadcasts at different rates (with correspondingly different coverage areas). We first show how, in the broadcast wireless medium, the available capacity at a mesh node for a multicast transmission is not just a function of the aggregate pre-existing traffic load of other interfering nodes, but intricately coupled to the actual (sender, receiver) set and the link-layer rate of each individual transmission. We …

This special issue introduces seven papers selected from the IMMCN’ 2005, covering a wide range of emerging topics in multimedia field. These papers receive high scores and good comments from the reviewers in their respective areas of intelligent and nextgeneration networking, technology and application, multimedia coding, content analysis and retrieval. The seven papers are extended to 20 pages and then gone through another review process before the final publication. In this issue, we have two papers for video streaming, two papers for multimedia applications, one paper for video coding, and two papers for image and video retrieval.
