Efficient Distribution of Content in Multi-Rate Multi-channel Wireless Mesh Networks

目前无线宽带接入是通信领域增长最快的市场之一。BWCS（英国）和SFC（美国）等市场研究公司的一项研究估计，到2009年，美国市场本身将超过37亿美元。 当前的无线网状网络具有有限的能力来支持多种当前的、新兴的和未来的服务。该项目中开发的机制将使服务提供商能够增加收入，并通过提供广泛的强化服务来使自己与众不同。我们的研究将有助于有效地共享网络资源（如带宽）之间的多媒体通信使用广播和组播协议的多个用户。

The current wireless broadband access is one of the fastest growing markets in communications area. A study by market research firms such as BWCS (England) and SFC (US) estimates the US market itself to be over $3.7 billion by year 2009. The current Wireless Mesh Network has limited capability to support for a multitude of current, emerging and future services . The mechanisms developed in this project will allow service providers to raise additional revenue and differentiate themselves by offering a wide range of enhanced services. Our research will help efficient sharing of network resources (such as bandwidth) between multiple users of multimedia communications using broadcasting and multicasting protocols.
