A wide class of networking application services, such as video teleconferencing, VOD, LAN bridging, and distributed data processing require multipoint communications. The essential component inteh network to achieve this is a multicast packet switch which is capable of packet replication and switching. In this paper, we propose an efficient mukticast addressing scheme using the smallest number of routing bits which is deterministic lower bound. The new scheme performs all point-to-multipoint connection in radix-2 tree ATM switch like banyan network. Also, we provide a simple radix-2 switch block diagram for achieving our algorithm. And we investigate several addressing schemes for implementing multicasting in radix-r tree ATM switch and evaluate several performance factors, such as complexity of the additional header bits, requirement of the internal speedup and complexity of the major hardware.

An Ethernet passive optical network(EPON) is a point-to-multipoint optical network. EPONs leverage the low cost, high performance curve of Ethernet systems to provide reliable data, voice and video to end user at bandwidths far exceeding current access technologies. In this paper, we propose the economical and flexible structure of optical network unit(ONU) converting optical format traffic to the customer's desired format(Ethernet, VDSL, T1, IP multicast, etc.). A unique feature of EPONs is that in addition to terminating and converting the optical signal the ONU provide Layer 2-3 switching functionality, which allows internal routing of enterprise traffic at the ONU.

Rateless codes have been shown to be able to provide greater flexibility and efficiency than fixed-rate codes for multicast applications. In the following, we optimize rateless codes for unequal error protection (UEP) for multimedia multicasting to a set of heterogeneous users. The proposed designs have the objectives of providing either guaranteed or best-effort quality of service (QoS). A randomly interleaved rateless encoder is proposed whereby users only need to decode symbols up to their own QoS level. The proposed coder is optimized based on measured transmission properties of standardized raptor codes over wireless channels. It is shown that a guaranteed QoS problem formulation can be transformed into a convex optimization problem, yielding a globally optimal solution. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed optimized random interleaved UEP rateless coder's performance compares favorably with that of other recently proposed UEP rateless codes.

이전의 계층화된 비디오 멀티캐스트에서는 각 계층의 크기를 그 하위 계층의 총합과 같도록 하여 TCP와 유사한 혼잡제어를 했었다. 하지만, 혼잡 시 비디오 데이터의 대역폭을 1/2로 줄이는 것은 사용자에게 인지되는 비디오 품질에 있어 큰 변화를 보이게 되므로 바람직하지 않고, 멀티캐스트를 사용함으로써 네트워크 전체에 트래픽을 줄이는 세션에게 아무런 이득도 주지 못하였다. 따라서 제안하는 방법에서는 기존 계층을 동일한 크기의 계층으로 나누고, 혼잡의 정도에 따라 계층의 감소 간격을 적절히 함으로써, 혼잡 해소 시에는 남아 있는 계층으로 데이터를 전달할 수 있게 하였다. 이러한 결과로 혼잡 시 비디오 품질이 급격히 떨어지는 것을 방지할 수 있고, 멀티캐스트를 사용하는 세션에게 이득을 줄 수 있다.

With the arrival of 3rd generation cellular networks it is expected that a lot of new cellular services will be available to the mobile users like video calling, location based services etc. Similarly MBMS is one such service which is targeted for 3G mobile users for viewing talk shows, live sport events etc. One shall view this service like a small portable T.V being carried by the mobile user. The user watches the programs of his liking by joining if he wishes. In this paper we focus on the possible UTRAN architectures to provide MBMS service within UMIS networks. The paper primarily focuses on the requirement aspect, notification aspect and the mobility aspect. The paper lists many options for notifications and elaborates on them in terms of pros and cons. In the end the paper conclude with an UTRAN architecture for MBMS service which meets the requirements of this service as well as makes minimum changes to the existing UTRAN architecture while attempting to save terminal power for this service.

VOD(Video-On-Demand) 시스템에서 제한 없는 VCR 서비스는 클라이언트들의 개별 서비스 요청에 대하여 유일한 비디오 스트림을 할당함으로서 제공될 수 있다. 이 방식은 서버 부하의 증가와 부족한 네트워크 자원의 고갈 등과 같은 중대한 문제점을 갖고 있으나 클라이언트의 셋톱박스에 버퍼를 구현함으로서 매우 제한된 VCR 기능을 제공하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 대화형 VOD 시스템에서 제한 없는 VCR 기능을 제공할 수 있는 새로운 MBA(Multicast Buffering Algorithm) 알고리듬을 제안한다. MBA 알고리듬 하에서 VCR 서비스는 버퍼가 동적으로 확장되어 비디오 데이터를 저장하기 때문에 사용자에게 제한 없이 제공되어진다. 또한 MBA 알고리듬은 버퍼의 사용 효율을 증대시키는 방법을 제공하며 모든 클라이언트들의 서비스 요청을 지연 없이 즉시 처리하므로 사용자들에게 진정한 대화형 VOD 서비스를 제공하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 MBA 알고리듬을 이용하여 지연 없는 VCR 기능을 갖춘 VOD 서비스를 구현하였으며 시뮬레이션 결과는 MBA 알고리듬이 다른 버퍼링 방식과 비교하여 매우 우수한 성능을 갖고 있음을 보여주고 있다.

To provide IPTV service over mobile networks, the mechanism that reduce packet loss and interrupt of multimedia service during the handover should be supported. Especially, buffering based mechanism is preferable for supporting IPTV services in the way of preserving streaming service using stored data and recovering non-received data after handover. But previous research doesn't consider the buffer allocation for applying various environments which can change handover time or end to end delay of relay node. This paper propose DBAHAJ mechanism that optimize buffer size of mobile nodes and relay node for supporting seamless IPTV service over mobile environments. Mobile node determines buffer size by checking handover time and maximum difference of sequence to keep playing video data. And multicast agent recovers packet loss during the handover by sending buffered data. By these two procedure, node supports seamless IPTV service on mobile networks. We confirm performance of this mechanism on NS-2 simulator.

The IEEE WAVE standard specification does not support handover operation since it is designed to transmit mainly the ITS-related messages that are limited in length. More advanced multimedia applications such as Internet browsing and streaming of video clips produced by CCTVs, however, require handover support such that a sequence of data packets can be received seamlessly while an OBU's association with the RSUs changes. This paper presents a new handover scheme that can operate without performance degradation in the cases where there are multiple RSUs in the areas of handover by making use of the IEEE 802.11f IAPP Move-notify messages, based on the fast handover scheme with proactive caching by disassociation messages introduced previously. Experimental results from the simulation shows that the proposed handover scheme outperforms the scheme based solely on multicast.

It is a study LVMPD to solve the fairness problem of inter-session shared bandwidth. Whenever congestion occurs in one session, the highest layer is dropped. Also the highest layer of other sessions in non-congestion is dropped by iner-session fairness. While there is spare bandwidth, receivers of session in non-congestion can't use bandwidth efficiently. In this paper, we proposed a distribution method to use efficiently spare bandwidth that occurred by inter-session fairness. In our method, we considered the highest layer those receivers receiving and the higher layer those receivers requesting. The sender assigns the packet-deleting priority to packets when congestion occurs in receivers, and sets layer add/drop flag when receivers of session in non-congestion request the higher layer. The switch deletes packets with packet-deleting priority and transfers packets with layer add/drop flag for session in non-congestion. Therefore receivers of session in non-congestion can add the higher layer. In experimental results, it was known that proposed algorithm use the inter-session shared bandwidth more effectively compared with already known method.

Recently, collaborative works are increased more and more over the distributed heterogeneous computing environments. The availability of high-speed wide-area networks has also enabled collaborative multimedia applications such as video conferencing, distributed interactive simulation and collaborative visualization. Distributed high performance computing and collaborative multimedia applications, it is extremely important to efficiently perform group communication over a heterogeneous network. Typical group communication patterns are broadcast and Multicast. Heuristic algorithms such as FEF, ECEF, look-ahead make up the message transmission tree for the broadcast and multicast over the distributed heterogeneous systems. But, there are some shortcomings because these select the optimal solution at each step, it may not be reached to the global optimum In this paper, we propose a new heuristic algerian that constructs tree for efficiently collective communication over the previous heterogeneous communication model which has heterogenity in both node and network. The previous heuristic algorithms my result in a locally optimal solution, so we present more reasonable and available criterion for choosing edge. Through the performance evaluation over the various communication cost, improved heuristic algorithm we proposed have less completion time than previous algorithms have, especially less time complexity than look-ahead approach.
