Cross-Layer Routing for Multicasting Multiple Description Coded Media in Wireless Mesh Networks

Delivering media traffic that requires very high bandwidth and good reconstruction quality in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) has been a challenging problem due to the limited bandwidth and multihop transmissions. In this paper, we study the problem of multicasting multiple description coded (MDC) media traffic in WMNs. A cross layer routing scheme is designed that builds multiple multicast trees, each of which delivers one description to the …
