- A Reliable Subcasting Protocol for Wireless Environments
- This paper presents an end-to-end reliable multicast protocol for use in environments with wireless access. It divides a multicast tree into sub-trees where subcasting within these smaller regions is applied using a tree of Retransmission Servers RSs. RM2 is receiver oriented in that the transmitter does not need to know...
