| Abstract | Reliable Multicast is encountered in many applications where there is a need to disseminate information to a large user community in a wireless asymmetric communication environment. To utilize the transmission media effectively, it is necessary to have efficient scheduling algorithms that can balance individual and overall performance, and also can scale in terms of client population and transmission bandwidth. This paper considers the problem of multicasting over unidirectional links that did not provide any feedback channel. The way to provide the reliability mechanism is to transmit data consecutively until the end of available time period. This study proposed "Multi-level Queue" for the scheduling algorithm and separated each data by the priority. The scheduling used the scheduling pattern to control data transmission of each queue. Finally, the experiments had been conducted to demonstrate the achievable performance of the transmission scheduling. It was found that the performance of the scheduling depends on many factors such as scheduling pattern, available network bandwidth, etc. The main factor is configuring of the transmission parameters to match with the system bandwidth. The inaccurate configuration can lead to the congestion problem and diminish the overall performance. |
