Figure 4.5: Line graph derived from Fig. 4.4<br />

Consider the network in Fig. 4.4. The source S would like to multicast an ordered<br />

scalable message M = [m 1 , m 2 , m 3 ], of which elements m 1 , m 2 , <strong>and</strong> m 3 have dependency<br />

levels of 1, 2, <strong>and</strong> 3, respectively, to four sink nodes R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , <strong>and</strong> R 4 . Every edge in<br />

the graph is capable of transmitting one symbol per time unit.<br />

Before assigning a GEK to each edge, we can simplify the graph in Fig. 4.4, using
