Multicast is an efficient method for real-time transmission in many multimedia applications. It is important to recover lost packets and to manage multicast groups according to the network status in order to improve the reliability of multicast transmissions. In this paper, we propose a method that can efficiently recover lost packets in a large multicast group. In the proposed method, we create a recovery cluster (RC) using a multicast domain (MD) for recovery of lost packets. In the conventional methods, clusters send a request message for lost packets to the senders in order to recover the packets lost from many multicast applications. This increases packet delay time and overhead because of the feedback messages and retransmitted packets. In the proposed method, we improve these problems using the RC, which consists of many MDs (which have overlay multicast senders), and many cluster heads (CHs). We divide the message into blocks, and divide each block into many segments for packet recovery using the CHs. When packet loss occurs, all CHs share the segment information and recover the lost segments at the same time. Simulation results show that the proposed method could improve the packet recovery ratio by about 50% compared to the conventional methods.

Cloud computing is an Internet-based computing paradigm that provides services in a virtualized form composed of plenty of resources sharable. In Cloud computing environments, gossip protocols are engaged as a method to rapidly disseminate the state information for innumerable resources. Although gossip protocols provide a robust and scalable multicast, there is a drawback that requires redundant messages in satisfying 100% of reachability. In our study, we propose a Group-based Gossip Multicast Protocol in order to reduce the message overhead while delivering the state information efficiently. Furthermore, we verified the performance of the proposed protocol through experiments.

Group communication in a wireless mesh network is complicated due to dynamic intermediate mesh points, access control for communications between different administrative domains, and the absence of a centralized network controller. Especially, many-to-many multicasting in a dynamic mesh network can be modeled by a decentralized framework where several subgroup managers control their members independently and coordinate the inter-subgroup communication. In this study, we propose a topology-matching decentralized group key management scheme that allows service providers to update and deliver their group keys to valid members even if the members are located in other network domains. The group keys of multicast services are delivered in a distributed manner using the identity-based encryption scheme. Identity-based encryption facilitates the dynamic changes of the intermediate relaying nodes as well as the group members efficiently. The analysis result indicates that the proposed scheme has the advantages of low rekeying cost and storage overhead for a member and a data relaying node in many-to-many multicast environment. The proposed scheme is best suited to the settings of a large-scale dynamic mesh network where there is no central network controller and lots of service providers control the access to their group communications independently.

With the proliferation of multimedia group applications, the construction of multicast trees satisfying QoS requirements is becoming a problem of prime importance. In this paper, we study the delay- and delay variation-bounded multicast tree (DVBMT) problem which is NP-complete. The problem is to construct a spanning tree for destination node, which has the minimized multicast delay variation, and the delay on the path from the source to each destination is bounded. A solution to this problem is required to provide decent real-time communication services such as on-line games, shopping, and teleconferencing. Performance comparison shows that the proposed scheme outperforms DDVCA which is known to be effective so far in any network topology. The enhancement is up to about $3.6{\%}{\~}11.1{\%}$ in terms of normalized surcharge for DUVCA. The time complexity of our algorithm is $O(mn^2)$.

RMCP is an application layer multicast protocol and was established as a standard by ITU-T Also, RMCP includes a scheme which can statically construct a multicast tree. In this paper, we propose a QoS based tree construction scheme which can dynamically construct a multicast tree. And this scheme shows more superior performance than the static tree scheme of RMCP in terms of start-up delay and user requirement QoS. This scheme consists of a best-fit method using multiple sub-net groups which are satisfied a user requirement QoS and a first-fit method using one sub-net group which has maximum transmission bandwidth. In simulation result, two proposed methods are superior to the existing static tree scheme.

We design a modified network architecture with condsidering current Internet network model and traffic characteristics, and propose EDCBT(Enhanced Dispersed Core-based Tree) multicast routing protocol, which enhances scalabity, reliability, end-to-end delay and resource utilization EDBCT adopts bidirectional dispersed shared trees and manages both of intradomain and interdomain multicast trees for a multicast group. Each regional multicast tree is estabilshed from its core router and they are interconnected by the operation between border routers on edges of each regional network. As a result, interdomain multicast tree can be easily established. We introduce a new concept named RBTS(Region-based Tree Switching), which dramatically enhances QoS and network utilization. Finally, protocol performance and the effect of core router location are evaluated with MIL3 OPNet network simulator, in terms of end-to-end delay, packet loss and throughput.

In this paper, an enhanced QoS multicast routing scheduling scheme is proposed to adapt to a dynamic mobile traffic condition for wireless mesh networks (WMNs). It handles the network QoS by controlling the delay constraints for multimedia applications. The group size will be controlled according to both the current network state and QoS requirements. The dynamic reconstruction of QoS multicast tree can be obtained from preprocessing with both the partial multicast routing scheme and the traffic estimation. Performance evaluation of the proposed scheme is carried out on randomly generated graph derived from the wireless mesh network, by choosing the optimal value related to the appropriate delay bounds. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the performance of QoS multicast routing for WMNs.

EPONs are a low cost, high speed solution to the bottleneck problem of broadband access networks. To support point-to-point and shared LAN emulation, EPONs use the multi-point control protocol (MPCP), which uses logical link identification (LLID) forframe tagging and filtering between the OLT and ONUs. In this paper, ONU-based multicast or multiple shared LAN emulation for IPTV services is proposed using logical group identification (LGID). Using ONUbased VLAN services, EPONs can support separate and secure connections between providers and subscribers in a simple manner. Also, differentiated IPTV channel packages can be delivered through EPONs by implementing ONU-based VLAN and IGMP snooping mechanisms.

In this paper, we propose a reliable multicast scheme for the tactical wireless ad hoc network where the members share the situation and operation data. Our scheme consists of two phases to guarantee the reliability. During the dissemination phase, we utilizes an epidemic approach similar to gossip-based ad hoc routing. Then the group members interchange the message reception state information periodically so that they are able to recover missing packets from the other members. We evaluate the performance of our scheme through extensive simulations using the network simulator in comparison with other existing reliable multicast schemes in mobile ad hoc network. Our scheme shows higher packet delivery ratio regardless of the mobility and imposes much lower control overhead to the non-group members compared with the existing schemes.
