"Scheduled-multicast" with application in multimedia networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a novel transmission technique, termed “scheduled-multicast”. Scheduled-multicast uses existing or additional memory at internal nodes in the transmission paths from the server to the clients to buffer the data stream, and effectively reduce the bandwidth requirements. We designed a new protocol, Scheduled-Multicast Procotol (SMP), and implemented a prototype system employing SMP to test out the feasibility of scheduled-multicast. The results from our experiments shows that SMP can greatly increase the scalability of the system (i.e., the number of concurrent clients who can be serviced) at a very small cost to the processor utilization. Given the positive results from our prototype, we believe SMP can be used to greatly enhance the scalability of large VoD systems at minimal infrastructure cost.

A Survey on Multicast Routing Approaches in Wireless Mesh Networks
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which mediates the broadband Internet access, have been recently received many attentions by the researchers. In order to increase capacity in these networks, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi-channel WMNs (MRMC WMNs). Therefore, a vital challenge that poses in MRMC WMNs is how to properly assign channels ...

Many appealing multicast services such as on-demand TV, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. When multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. Designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...
