To support real-time multicast, the existing DS network may use the EF PHB for transmission, However, because of the dynamic characteristics of the multicast flow and the features of the EF PHB. it is very difficult to make a provision of resources or to manage the network when EF multicast flows increase, Also, the existing LBE PHB can not guarantee the transmission delay bounds required for the real-time multicast traffic, In this paper. a new concept of PHB. namely, low-delay multicast PHB, that may guarantee approximately the per-hop delay is proposed, For the low-delay multicast PHB, router architectures are devised, The queue management algorithm on a low-delay multicast queue and a scheduling method are also devised. This new architecture of the LDM AF class is simple to be implemented.

In this work, we consider the optimization problem of minimizing energy consumption for real-time multicast over wireless multi-hop networks. Previously, a distributed primal-dual subgradient algorithm was used for finding a solution to the optimization problem. However, the traditional subgradient algorithms have drawbacks in terms of i) sensitivity to iteration parameters; ii) need for saving previous iteration results for computing the optimization results at the current iteration. To overcome these drawbacks, using a joint network coding and scheduling optimization framework, we propose a novel distributed primal-dual Random Deflected Subgradient (RDS) algorithm for solving the optimization problem. Furthermore, we derive the corresponding recursive formulas for the proposed RDS algorithm, which are useful for practical applications. In comparison with the traditional subgradient algorithms, the illustrated performance results show that the proposed RDS algorithm can achieve an improved optimal solution. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is stable and robust against the choice of parameter values used in the algorithm.

This paper presents implementation of client-based VOD service using multicast delivery, Conventional system provide server-based system in multicast delivery but implemented system provides on-demand client-based multicast system. The Multicast Agent Scheduler aggregates clients' request and it generate multicast group addresses and port numbers according to requested video items and service request time. Then it transmits immediately multicast address to VOD server and client who request service. And then VOD server transmits requested streams with a multicast group address and the client joins the group automatically. The Multicast Agent Scheduler assigns the same multicast group address when other clients request an identical video within the same scheduling duration. The proposed system can reduce load of server and support many clients at the same time and applies it to WMT(window media technology) of Microsoft.

This paper proposes a multicast packet-switching method which can less affect QoS degradation. The method includes a switch fabric with extra switching paths dedicated for 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.

This paper implements MOD system using multicast delivery. Conventional system provide server-based system in multicast delivery but implemented system provides on-demand client-based multicast system. The scheduler aggregates clients' request and it generate multcast group addresses and port numbers according to requested video items and service request time. Then it transmits immediately multicast address to MOD server and client who request service. And then MOD server transmits requested streams with a multicast group address and the client joins the group automatically. The scheduler assigns the same multicast group address when other clients request an identical video within the same scheduling duration. The system can reduce load of server and support many clients at the same time.

In this paper, we consider the scheduling of SE(switching element)-disjoint multicasting in photonic Banyan-type switching networks constructed with directional couplers. This ensures that at most, one connection holds each SE in a given time thus, neither crosstalk nor blocking will arise in the network. Such multicasting usually takes several routing rounds hence, it is desirable to keep the number of rounds(i.e., scheduling length) to a minimum. We first present the necessary and sufficient condition for connections to pass through a common SE(i.e., make crosstalk) in the photonic Banyan-type networks capable of supporting one-to-many connections. With definition of uniquely splitting a multicast connection into distinct subconnections, the crosstalk relationship of a set of connections is represented by a graph model. In order to analyze the worst case crosstalk we characterize the upper bound on the degree of the graph. The successor paper(Part II)[14] is devoted to the scheduling algorithm and the upper bound on the scheduling length. Comparison with related results is made in detail.

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.

Recently the multicast based contents transmission is rapidly increasing due to the various multimedia services and the importance of switching technology to handle it is increasing as a consequence. Though the CICQ architecture has advantages that reduction of HoL blocking probability and simple scheduling using cross point buffer, it has disadvantage that the processing rate of multicast traffic can be significantly degraded corresponds to the traffic load increment. Several schemes have been proposed to solve this problem however they still can't provide enough processing ratio for multicast traffic. Therefore this paper proposes the BA cell assignment scheme and the VT scheme, and the processing rate of multicast traffic can be guaranteed by reducing the HoL blocking probability of multicast traffic and reservation of cross point buffer. Also simulation results verify that using the proposed scheme, the QoS of multicast service can be improved.

IEEf 802.11 Point Coordination Function (PCF) mode is defined to support time bounded traffic, such as VoIP in wireless LANs. The poll scheduling plays an important role in IEEE 802.11 PCF mode operation. This paper proposed a Multicast Polling Scheme to increase the performance of wireless LANs. Moreover, we proposed a polling schedule scheme for our proposed multipoll to serve real-time traffic. The results show that the proposed mechanism is more efficient than the original IEEE 802.11 PCF.

오늘날의 통신서비스들은 음성이나 데이터 서비스와 같은 전통적인 서비스 뿐만 아니라 비디오 서비스와 같은 대량의 데이터를 전송해야만 하는 멀티미디어 서비스를 포함한다. 이러한 요구를 수용하기 위해서 BISDN(Broadband Integated Digital Network)이 개발되었고 이의 기반 기술로 ATM이 채택되었다. 다양한 멀티미디어 응용들 중에서 VOD(Video On Demand), 화상회의 등은 데이터를 동시에 여러 목적지로 보내는 멀티캐스트 특성이 있다. 그러므로 멀티캐스트 능력은 멀티미디어 통신에서 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 링망을 이용한 병렬 멀티캐스트 패킷스위치(Parallel Multicast Packet Switch with Ring Network: PMRN)에서의 분리된 HOL을 이용한 멀티캐스트 셀 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 입력버퍼의 앞단에 멀티캐스트 셀과 유니캐스트 셀을 위한 분리된 HOL을 두고 non-FIFO방식을 사용함으로서 입력버퍼 내에서 전송 가능한 멀티캐스트 셀과 유니캐스트 셀을 동시에 스케쥴링할 수 있도록 하여 입력버퍼 내에서의 지연을 감소시키고 링망과 일대일 연결 네트워크의 이용율을 높이며 스위치의 처리율을 높일 수 있다.
