In this paper, we propose an efficient network communication scheme tailored to the network virtual reality(NVR) system. We first present the architecture and implementation of CVRAT (collaborative virtual reality authoring tool). The design goal of CVRAT is to provide consistent and scalable shared virtual environments. To achieve this goal, we classify the network messages according to their reliability and latency requirements. These conflicting requirements lead us to conceive a heterogeneous communication scheme which provides the unicast and three different multicast transport services; unreliable multicast, receiver-driven reliable multicast, fast reliable multicast. Each protocol has trade-offs in reliability, latency and bandwidth usage. The characteristics are analyzed by several experiments. Finally, applying this communication method to multi-participant battle-field tank simulation, we show the efficacy of proposed heterogeneous transport mechanism.

This paper proposes a protocol for the reliableand QoS-aware multicast transport, which is called the Enhanced Communications Transport Protocol (ECTP). The ECTP has so far been developed and standardized in ITU-T SG17 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 6. Differently from the conventional reliable multicast, as shownin the IETF RMT WG, the ECTP additionally provides several distinct features such as tight control of multicast session, tree-based error control, and QoS management. For the tight control of multicast connections, the sender is at the heart of one-to-many group communications, and it is responsible for overall connection management such as connection creation/termination, pause/resumption, and the join and leave operations. for tree-based reliability control, ECTP configures a hierarchical tree during connection creation. Error control is performed within each local group defined by a control tree, which was partly designed like the IETF TRACK approach. Each parent retransmits lost data in response to retransmission requests from its children. For QoS management, ECTP supports QoS negotiation for resource reservation, and it also provides QoS monitoring and maintenance operations. ECTP has been implemented and tested on Linux machine, along with Application Programming Interfaces based on Berkeley sockets. For basic testing of the ECTP functionality, we give some preliminary experimental results for performance comparison of ECTP and TCP unicast transports. In conclusion, we describe the status of ECTP experimentations over APAN/KOREN testbed networks

Multicast protocols are efficient methods of group communication, but they do not support the various transmission protocol services like a reliability guarantee, FTP, or Telnet that TCPs do. The purpose of this dissertation is to find a method to utilize sewer routers to form multicasts that can simultaneously transport multicast packets and TCP packets. For multicast network scalability and error recovery the existing SRM method has been used. Three packets per TCP transmission control window size are used for transport and an ACK is used for flow control. A CBR and a SRM is used for UDP traffic control. Divided on whether a UDP multicast packet and TCP unicast packet is used simultaneously or only a UDP multicast packet transport is used, the multicast receiver with the longest delay is measured on the number of packets and its data receiving rate. It can be seen that the UDP packet and the TCP's IP packet can be simultaneously used in a server router.

There are lots of researches for mobility of MS(mobile station) in All IP based network. Specially, NEMO(NEwork MObility) is not supporting mobility of each MS but supporting mobility of network that include group of MS. Some research try to overcome limitation of wireless with the protocol in wired state and it maintains the performance such as wire environment. There are no researches about multicast with reliability in NEMO. Therefore, this paper suggests efficient algorithm to solve problems when RMTP(Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol) apply to NEMO environment to support high reliability with multicast. And this paper shows the better performance of proposed algorithm for delay and transmission rate between AR and TLMR comparing with RMTP in NEMO.

To meet the requirements of reliable service for various applications, a Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol should be implemented over IP Multicast where currently best-effort service is provided. Among the current researches, hierarchical tree-based mechanism has been proposed and actively studied. This mechanism is known to provide high scalability as well as reliability, but needs an additional tree configuring mechanism for building an efficient logical tree in transport layer. Bottom-up approach has been used for creating such a tree. This method has benefits from parallel tree construction for receivers, while it has some drawbacks such that it does not guarantee a loop-free tree and brings heavy message overhead during tree creation process. Therefore, this paper proposes a top-down based mechanism for constructing a control tree, which can guarantee loop-freeness by step-wise mannered tree building. From experimental simulations, it shows that the proposed mechanism has less message overhead. It is recommended that the bottom-up and the proposed top-down will be selectively used in real networks, according to the requirements of the concerned multicast applications.

Recent advances in forward error correction (FEC) coding techniques were focused on addressing the challenges of multicast and broadcast delivery. However, FEC approaches can also be used for unicast content delivery in order to solve transmission control protocol issues found in wireless networks. In this paper, we exploit the error resilient properties of Raptor codes by proposing Raptor-based content delivery protocol (RCDP) - a novel solution for reliable and bidirectional unicast communication in lossy links that can improve content delivery in situations where the wireless network is the bottleneck. RCDP has been designed, validated, optimized, and its performance has been analyzed in terms of throughput and resource efficiency. Experimental results show that RCDP is a highly efficient solution for environments characterized by high delays and packet losses making it very suitable for intelligent transport system oriented applications since it achieves significant performance improvements when compared to traditional transport layer protocols.

This paper proposes an extension scheme of the well-known Berkeley Socket Interface for supporting QoS-provided multipeer multimedia communications. The current BSD Socket Interface has been TCP/IP-centric historically and the protocol suite was developed for the peer-to-peer best effort data communications. In order to support multiparty multimedia applications, such key functions as group management, QoS control, and reliable multicast transport should be exploited in the current simple unicast communication architecture and the well-known interface should be extended to cover the functions. This paper proposes a few new API functions and some changes in the current APIs.

ALC(Asyncronous Layered Coding)는 LCT(Layered Coding Transport)기반의 폭넓은 확장성과 다양한 전송속도로 신뢰성 있는 멀티캐스트 전송을 주 목적으로 한다. ALC는 다른 RMT 프로토콜과는 달리 재전송을 하지 않고 receiver-driven 형태의 혼잡제어를 하기 때문에 신뢰성을 제공하기 위해 FEC(Forward Error Correction) 스킴를 이용한다. 본 논문은 신뢰적인 멀티캐스트 전송 프로토콜을 위해 ALC와 FEC 스킴 중 하나인 LDPC 코드를 이용하여 구현한다. 인코딩 비율(Encoding ratio)에 따라 일정 수준 이상의 복구 성공 확율에 대해 최대 허용 가능한 패킷 손실률을 측정하여 신뢰치를 측정한다. 마지막으로 일대다의 파일 전송 시, TCP와 비교하여 본 구현물의 유연성과 효율성에 대해 분석 및 평가한다.

More than a decade after its initial proposal, deployment of IP Multicast has been limited due to the problem of traffic control in multicast routing, multicast address allocation in global internet, reliable multicast transport techniques etc. Lately, according to increase of multicast application service such as internet broadcast, real time security information service etc., overlay multicast is developed as a new internet multicast technology. In this paper, we describe an overlay multicast protocol and propose fast join mechanism that considers switching of the tree. To find a potential parent, an existing search algorithm descends the tree from the root by one level at a time, and it causes long joining latency. Also, it is try to select the nearest node as a potential parent. However, it can't select the nearest node by the degree limit of the node. As a result, the generated tree has low efficiency. To reduce long joining latency and improve the efficiency of the tree, we propose searching two levels of the tree at a time. This method forwards joining request message to own children node. So, at ordinary times, there is no overhead to keep the tree. But the joining request came, the increasing number of searching messages will reduce a long joining latency. Also searching more nodes will be helpful to construct more efficient trees. In order to evaluate the performance of our fast join mechanism, we measure the metrics such as the search latency and the number of searched node and the number of switching by the number of members and degree limit. The simulation results show that the performance of our mechanism is superior to that of the existing mechanism.
