چکیده

We consider how to allocate bandwidth in a multicast tree so as to optimize some global measure of performance. In our model each receiver has a budget to be used for bandwidth reservation on links along its path from the source, and each link has a cost function depending on the amount of total bandwidth reserved at the link by all receivers using that link. We formulate and solve a problem of allocating bandwidth in the multicast tree such that the sum of link costs is minimized. Keywords-Multicast, Resource Allocation, Convex Optimization, Flow Control

An Approach for Quality of Service Based Multicast Routing

In this report, we present a general framework for the problem of QoS multicast and unicast routing with resource allocation. Our framework uses functional forms derived from various queuing service disciplinesfor the QoS parameters rather than static metrics. We give formal definitions of the QoS multicast and unicast routing with resource allocation problems. This problem formulation is diffe...

A Novel Multicast Beneficiary in Ieee 802.16j Wimax Relay Networks

In IEEE 802.16j based wimax multihop-relay network, in addition to a base station, multiple relay stations are used for enhancing the throughput, and improving the coverage distance of the base station. Multicasting is a more efficient method of supporting group communication than unicasting, as it allows transmission and routing of packets to multiple destinations using fewer network resources...

Multicast Heuristic Approaches on Multi- Layer Wireless Network

Multicast services are increased in exponential manner in these last few years and in particular in the field of multimedia services. Multicast can reduce resources allocation and enhance network performances in terms of QoS, especially in a wireless platforms where the bandwidth is a precious resource. The problem of multicast routing can be reduced to the problem of finding a spanning tree ca...

A Study on Resource Allocation Algorithms in Wireless Relay Networks

In this paper, the multicast routing problem in wireless relay networks is considered. The resource allocation problem in IEEE 802. 16j WIMAX Networks is discussed. The relay stations are used to improve the transmission quality in WIMAX networks. Most existing approaches try to reduce the energy consumption of a multicast tree. In contrast, the maximization problem to increase the number of re...
