Optimal Hierarchical Structure of Nationwide Multicast Network

With the realization of B{ISDN, various kinds of broadcast and multicast services, such as TV distibution and Near Video-On-Demand, will occupy a large part of the network tra c, since these services have moving images. However, the nationwide topologies of the conventional telecommunication network are disigned for point-to-point (P-P) services such as telephone, facsimile and data. Since mult...

Optimal Control of Network Structure Growth

We formulate the problem of influencing the growth of a network as a stochastic optimal control problem in which a structural cost function penalizes undesired topologies. We approximate this control problem with a restricted class of control problems that can be solved using probabilistic inference methods. To deal with the increasing problem dimensionality, we introduce an adaptive importance...

Optimal Hierarchical Structure of Broadcast Network

| With the realization of Broadband Integrated Service Digital Network (B{ISDN), broadcast services will occupy a large part of the network trac. In these services, the same information is distributed to many subscribers through the point-to-multipoint connection paths. This connection form is quite dierent from that of conventional point-to-point services. Since the conventional network struct...
