This book introduces the fundamentals of multicast in fixed and mobile networks and describes the state-of-the-art of multicast in third-generation networks by detailing the mechanisms and protocols of MBMS. The book: Provides an accessible overview of the fundamentals of multicast in fixed and mobile networks. Covers hot topics such as MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) for UMTS and multicast over the CDMA air interface Discusses different strategies for carrying multicast traffic over the air interface and its performance. Incorporates an extensive simulation study of how to transmit multicast data reliably.
