In this paper, we study a problem that is concerning how to construct a delay-constrained multicast tree on a wireless mesh network (WMN) such that the number of serviced clients is maximized. In order to support high-quality and concurrent interference-free transmission streams, multiple radios are implemented in each mesh node in the WMNs. Instead of only orthogonal channels used for the multicast in the previous works, both orthogonal and partially overlapping channels are considered in this study. As a result, the number of links successfully allocated channels can be expected to be much larger than that of the approaches in which only orthogonal channels are considered. The number of serviced subscribers is then increased dramatically. Hence, the goal of this study is to find interference-free and delay-constrained multicast trees that can lead to the maximal number of serviced subscribers. This problem is referred as the MRDCM problem. Two heuristics, load-based greedy algorithm and load-based MCM algorithm, are developed for constructing multicast trees. Furthermore, two load-based channel assignment procedures are provided to allocate interference-free channels to the multicast trees. A set of experiments is designed to do performance, delay and efficiency comparisons for the multicast trees generated by all the approximation algorithms proposed in this study.

In this paepr, we propose a dynamic multicast routin algorithm for constructing the delay-constrained minimal spanning tree in the VP-based ATM networks, in which we consider the effiiciency enen in the case wheree the destination dynamically joins/departs the multicast connection. For constructing the delay-constrained spanning tree, we frist generate a reduced network consisting of only VCX nodes from a given ATM network, originally consisting of VPX/VCX nodes. Then, we obtain the delay-constrained spanning tree with a minimal tree cost on the reduced network by using our proposed heuristic algorithm. Through numerical examples, we show that our dynamic multicast routing algorithm can provide an efficient usage of network resources when the membership nodes frequently changes during the lifetime of a multicast connection. We also demonstrate the more cost-saving can be expected in dense networks when applyingour proposed algorithm.

The Type of Service based multicast routing algorithm is necessary to support efficiently herogeneous applications in ATM network. In this paper I propose the Constrained Multicast Tree with Virtual Destination(DMTVD) heuristic algorithm as least cost multicast routing algorithm. The service is categorized into two types, as delay sensitive and non in CMTVD algorithm. For the delay sensitive service type, the cost optimized route is the Minimum Cost Stenier Tree connecting all the destination node group, virtual destination node group and source node with least costs, subject to the delay along the path being less than the maximum allowable end to end delay. The other side for the non-delay sensitive service, the cost optimized route is the MCST connecting all the multicast groups with least costs, subject to the traffic load is balanced in the network. The CMTVD algorithm is based on the Constrained Multicasting Tree algorithm but regards the nodes branching multiple destination nodes as virtural destination node. The experimental results show that the total route costs is enhanced 10%-15% than the CTM algorithm.

Constrained minimum Steiner tree (CMST) problem is a key issue in multicast routing with quality of service (QoS) support. Bounded shortest path algorithm (BSMA) has been recognized as one of the best algorithms for the CMST problem due to its excellent cost performance. This algorithm starts with a minimumdelay tree, and then iteratively uses a
-shortest-path (KSP) algorithm to search for a better path to replace a “superedge” in the existing tree, and consequently reduces the cost of the tree. The major drawback of BSMA is its high time complexity because of the use of the KSP algorithm. For this reason, we investigate in this paper the possibility of more efficient implementations of BSMA by using different methods to locate the target path for replacing a superedge. Our experimental results indicate that our methods can significantly reduce the time complexity of BSMA without deteriorating the cost performance.

Designing a reliable multicast-based network that scales to the size of a multicast group member is difficult because of the diversity of user demands. The loss inferences of internal nodes by end-to-end measurements do not require the use of complete statistics because of the use of maximum likelihood estimation. These schemes are very efficient and the inferred value converges fast to its true value. In the theoretical analysis, internal delay estimation is possible but the analysis is very complex due to the continuity property of the delay. In this paper, we propose the use of a bottleneck location estimator. This can overcome the analytical difficulty of the delay estimation using the power spectrum of the packet interarrival time as the performance metric. Both theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme can be used for bottleneck location inference of internal links in scalable multicasting.

In this paper, we propose a solution, called M_DQDMR, for generating delay-constrained boundwidth-appropriated multicast routing trees to reduce the delay and conserved boundwidth resources of nodes in mobile computing environment. At the current router installation, we according the routing table and the information of link which neighboring rude to guarantee QoS(Quality of Service). When we construct multicast tree, M_DQDMR algorithm dynamically adjusts its appropriate tree construction policy based on how far the destination node from the delay bound and boundwidth our QoS requirement. Through simulations and comparing to another multicast algorithm, we reach a conclusion is that M_DQDMR can simply and dynamically adjusts the construction of multicast tree in hight-speed and conserve boundwidth resources.

In this paper, we propose a solution, called DQDMR, for generating delay-constrained bandwidth- appropriated multicast routing trees to reduce end-to-end delay and conserved bandwidth resources. At the current router system the router keep the information of link which neighboring node in the routing table to guarantee QoS(Quality of Service). When we construct multicast tree, DQDMR algorithm dynamically adjusts the path in the least delay and appropriate bandwidth. Through simulations comparing to another multicast algorithms, we reach a conclusion that DQDMR algorithm can simply and dynamically adjusts the construction of multicast tree in hight-speed and conserve bandwidth resources.

실시간 멀티미디어 서비스에서 Quality of Service(QoS) 보장의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 멀티미디어 서비스 제공 형태의 대다수가 될 멀티캐스트 경로설정에서도 QoS 보장은 확장성 신뢰성과 함께 매우 중요한 문제이다. QoS 기반 코어 선택 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즈믄 멀티캐스트 경로설정에서 코어 선택시에 다중 QoS 제약조건을 고려한다. QoS 제약조건은 최소보장 대역폭, 종단 지연, 종단 지연변이 등으로 정의한다. 모의 실험결과는 제안한 QCSA와 Maximum Centered Tree(MCT) Average Centered Tree (ACT) Initial Delay-Constrained Shared Tree(Dcinitial) Random Tree(Random)등의 기존 코어 선택 알고리즘의 성능을 각 항목별로 비교한다 멀티캐스트 그룹 멤버수와 QoS 제약조건을 인자로 한 모의 실험 결과는 제안한 QoS 기반 코어 선택 알고리즘이 기존 코어 선택 알고리즘에 비해서 다중 QoS 제약조건 보장 코어 선택 성공률에서 성능 개선 효과를 가짐을 보여준다. 제안 알고리즘이 본 논문에서 설정한 모의 실험 환경에서는 QoS 기반 코어 선택의 정도를 나타내는 성공률에서 약 10% 정도 기존 알고리즘보다 우수함을 보인다. 이 결과는 제안 알고리즘이 코어 선택 과정의 초기부터 멀티캐스트 그룹내의 모든 멤버에 대한 다중 QoS 제약조건을 고려하는 점이 QoS 기반 코어 선택에서 개선 효과를 나타냄을 보여준다.
