  • Method for increasing multicast throughput in a single-hop multi-channel wireless network
    Patent number: 10021534
    Abstract: A communications method comprising the following steps: establishing a single-hop, multi-channel wireless network comprising a plurality of half-duplex nodes that can simultaneously receive on multiple channels but that cannot simultaneously transmit on the multiple channels; using linear programming to establish a rapid-throughput transmission schedule for data transmissions between the half-duplex nodes; multicasting all the data transmissions in the network in multicast sessions according to the transmission schedule; using erasure coding to reconstruct data transmitted in a particular multicast session in instances where the entirety of the particular multicast session is not received at a given node because the given node was transmitting during part of the particular multicast session.
