Applying Semantic Reliability Concepts to Multicast Information Messaging in Wireless Networks
Abstract
Public use of the Internet increases and applications suitable for multicast distribution grow more popular. An increasing percentage of users require wireless connectivity. Multicast solutions must therefore be able to handle receiver and network link heterogeneity. This paper proposes an approach to handle such challenges. According to a definition of semantic reliability, the reliability concept can be interpreted in terms of application semantics. By using semantic reliability traditional reliability constraints can be relaxed. Our approach is to use an application – transport layer communication to implement a dynamically configurable transport layer protocol whose error-handling rule set can be configured from the application or even from the sender in-session. It can also be initiated from the sender when the session starts.
