A survey of multicasting protocols for broadcast-and-select single-hop networks.

A survey of multicasting protocols for broadcast-and-select single-hop networks.

Multicast communication in single-hop broadcast-and-select wavelength-division multiplexing networks has received considerable attention from researchers. This article presents a comprehensive survey of the multicast scheduling techniques in this environment. It considers different challenges that a...
