FEC & File Multicast

Slide 1:ECC Applications and Simulation Multicast Methods Using ECC Yossi Cohen & Yitzhak Aviv

Slide 2:Motivation Why look at applications?  We have already looks at the inner working of the codes and the results of small scale simulations. Looking at the application will help us broaden our knowledge and review results of large scale simulations. Why look at Multicast file transfer?  The multicast scheme should be smart enough to compensate not just for the characteristics of a single channel as is the case in classical communication, but for characteristics of many channels that are varying over time.  Multicast file transfer application are gaining popularity. They are used in many areas from software update to peer-to-peer networking.

Slide 3:What is multicast ? When many users need the same info at the same time it is better to duplicate
