CENTRALIZED APPLICATION LEVEL MULTICASTING WITH PEER-ASSISTED APPLICATION LEVEL FEEDBACK FOR SCALABLE MULTIMEDIA DATA DISTRIBUTION IN WIFI MIRACAST

摘要

Methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for scalable data service distribution in WiFi Miracast. A processor of a source computing device in a WiFi Miracast network may group all sink computing devices scheduled to receive a frame or packet of a service into a single multicast group and transmit a multicast frame or packet to the sink computing devices. Individual sink computing devices in a WiFi Miracast network may be configured to send error logs indicating the quality of their respective wireless connections with a source computing device to the source computing device. A source computing device may add multicast group member sink computing devices to a unicast group based at least in part on missing and/or received error logs from the multicast group member sink computing devices.
