Résumé: Multicast communication in single-hop broadcast-and-select wavelength-division multiplexing networks has received considerable attention from researchers. This article presents a comprehensive survey of the multicast scheduling techniques in this environment. It considers different challenges that are faced in the design of the multi casting techniques, and presents a classification of such schemes. A survey of the specific technique is then presented, and a comparison is drawn between such techniques.
