Abstract
In this paper, we propose FlyCast, an architecture using the physical layer of free-space optics (FSO) to accelerate multicast communication. FlyCast leverages off-the-shelf devices (e.g. switchable mirror, beam splitter) to physically split the FSO beam to multi receivers on demand, which enables to build dynamical multicast trees in physical layer and accelerates multicast communications. We demonstrate the feasibility of FlyCast through our theoretical analysis and the proof-of-concept prototype.
