Abstract :
Feedback load in a reliable multicast session is a pressing research issue owing to the risk of a feedback implosion. Synchronous feedback packet arrivals greatly increase this risk. The work that is the subject of this report analysed Negative AcKnowledgement feedback packet arrivals for a reliable multicast session in a generic mobile network, obtaining a probabilistic description of the feedback load variation in time.
