In packet switching architectures, multicast transmission to two or more ports is inherent to the forwarding mechanics of certain protocols while strictly operational necessities in others. For ...

To design communications systems, an engineer may have to juggle several protocols running across a backplane. There are several common strategies to handling the interface for those protocols.

The aim of this module is to give an understanding of the functionality of packet switching protocols at different layers of a wireless system and to appreciate how these protocols achieve reliable ...
