To support emerging group applications such as network games and Internet live-casting efficiently, IP multicast mechanism is highly needed. But IP multicast still has not been deployed in the current Internet because of its difficulty to manage. RMCP is designed to deliver multicast data in the unicast environment with the help of SM and MA mechanism. In this paper we discuss on RMCP design and test on APAN network.

To support emerging group applications such as network games and Internet live-casting efficiently. IP multicast mechanism is highly needed. But IP multicast still has not been deployed in the current Internet because of its difficulty to manage. Overlay multicast mechanisms are proposed to serve group communications more effectively in the current unicast oriented Internet. In this paper we categorize the proposed ones into topological view point.

This paper proposes a sound multicast packet-switching method which can less affect QoS(Quality of Service) degradation. The method includes a switch fabric with extra switching paths dedicated f()r multicast packets. Presented also are both a buffering structure and a scheduling algorithm for the proposed method. Simulation analysis for the method shows that the switching delay of unicast packets is decreased even though arrival rate of multicast packets is increased.

We describe the fundamental issue of scheduling the allocation of wireless network resources and provide several formulations of the associated problems. The emphasis is on scheduling transmission attempts. We place this problem in the context of existing approaches, like information theoretic and traditional network theoretic ones, as well as novel avenues that open up the possibility of addressing this issue for non-stationary and non-ergodic environments. We summarize concrete recent results for specific special cases that include unicast and multicast traffic, different objective functions, and reduced complexity versions of the problem. We conclude with some thoughts for future work. We identify and single out the cross-layer nature of the problem and include a simple physical-layer criterion in what is mostly a medium access control (MAC) problem.

This paper presents a combination of optimization concept and congestion control for multicast communications to bring best benefit for the network. For different types of Internet services, there will be different utility functions and so there will be different ways to choose on how to control the congestion, especially for real time multicast traffic. Our proposed algorithm OMCC brings the first implementation experiment of utility-based Multicast Congestion Control. Simulation results show that OMCC brings better network performances in multicast session throughput while it still keeps a certain fairness of unicast and multicast sessions, and thus, provides better benefit for all network participants.

Multicast data communication is an efficient communication scheme, especially inmulti-hop ad hoc networks where the media access control (MAC) layer is based on one-hop broadcast from one source to multiple receivers. Compared to unicast, multicast over a wireless channel should be able to deal with varying channel conditions of multiple users and user mobility to provide good quality to all users. IEEE 802.11 does not support reliable multicast owing to its inability to exchange request-to-send/clear-to-send and acknowledgement packets with multiple recipients. Thus, several MAC layer protocols have been proposed to provide reliable multicast. However, additional overhead is introduced, as a result, which degrades the system performance. In this paper, we propose an efficient wireless multicast MAC protocol with small control overhead required for reliable multicast in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks. We present analytical formulations of the system throughput and delay associated with the overhead.

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.

In this paper, we propose a multicast ATM switch that reduces traffic load by using the method of storing unicast cells and multicast cells separately according to the type of the cells. The switch is based on a shared memory type to reduce HOL blocking and deadlock. In the proposed switch, we use a control scheme that schedules stored cells to output ports to reduce the loss of traffic cells and to output effectively. We analyzed the Performance of the proposed switch through the computer simulation and the results have shown the effectiveness of the switch.

VoD (Video-on-Demand) 서비스는 가입자가 원하는 컨텐츠를 실시간으로 전송하는 서비스의 형태이다. 오늘날은 방대한 양의 멀티미디어 데이터를 효율적으로 압축하고 보다 빠르게 전송할 수 있는 시스템의 발달이 가속화되고 있고 이는 VoD 서비스의 증가로도 이어지고 있다. 그러므로 가입자가 원하는 컨텐츠를 보다 효과적으로 제공할 수 있는 VoD 서비스의 방법을 찾는 것은 중요한 일이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 NVoD (Near-VoD) 서비스 또는 TVoD (True-VoD) 서비스 만을 제공함으로서 생길 수 있는 단점을 없애고 장점만 살릴 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 이는 기존의 가입자단에 Buffer를 제공하여 NVoD를 TVoD화 함으로서 가능하게 하였다. 또한, 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 필요한 버퍼의 크기를 제시하고 전체적인 알고리즘을 제시하여 이를 구체화 하였다.
