Overlay multicast is proposed as an alternative approach for providing muticast services. A logical infrastructure is built to form an overlay network on top of the physical layer. In this paper, we propose an efficient overlay multicast in wireless ad hoc networks. The overlay multicast tree adapts to the changes in underlying networks. The multicast tree adjusted according to the local member information.

Overlay multicast technique is an effective way as an alternative to IP multicast. Traditional IP multicast is not widely deployed because of the complexity of IP multicast technology and lack of application. But overlay multicast can be easily deployed by effectively reducing complexity of network routers. Because overlay multicast resides on top of densely connected IP network, In case of multimedia streaming service over overlay multicast tree, real-time data is sensitive to end-to-end delay. Therefore, moderate algorithm's development to this network environment is very important. In this paper, we are interested in minimizing maximum end-to-end delay in overlay multicast tree. The problem is formulated as a degree-bounded minimum delay spanning tree, which is a problem well-known as NP-hard. We develop tabu search heuristic with intensification and diversification strategies. Robust experimental results show that is comparable to the optimal solution and applicable in real time

Overlay Multicast is a promising approach to overcome the implementation problem of IP multicast. Real time services like Internet broadcasting are provided by the overlay multicast technology due to the complex nature and high cost of IP multicast. To reduce frequent updates of multicast members and to support real time service without delay, we suggest a reliable overlay multicast tree based on members' sojourn probabilities. Path reliabilities from a source to member nodes are considered to maximize the reliability of an overlay multicast tree. The problem is formulated as a binary integer programming with degree and delay bounds. A tabu search heuristic is developed to solve the NP-complete problem. Outstanding results are obtained which is comparable to the optimal solution and applicable in real time.

Overlay Multicast is a promising approach to overcome the implementation problem of IP multicast. Real time services like internet broadcasting are provided by overlay multicast technology due to the complex nature of IP multicast and the high cost to support multicast function. Since multicast members can dynamically join or leave their multicast group, it is necessary to keep a reliable overlay multicast tree to support real time service without delay. In this paper, we consider path level reliability that connects each member node. The problem is formulated as a binary integer programming which maximizes the reliability of multicast tree. Tabu search based algorithm is presented to solve the NP-hard problem.

Recently, studies for effective multimedia contents delivery have been widely performed in the multimedia streaming area. Overlay multicast, which can be implemented in the application layer, is method to transmit multimedia content's effectively. The Overlay multicast method can implement multicast transmission without changing the physical layer, and it has the characteristic that the application method can be diversify according to the algorithm. This paper has proposed the backup path construction method of overlay multicast for stabilized multimedia contents transmission. The proposed method can construct a backup path with the minimum searching method for guaranteed QoS(Quality of Service) and in overlay multicast so a fast and simple backup path can be constructed.

Overlay network eliminates the need to change the application-layer tree when the underlying network changes and enables the overlay network to survive in environments where nonmember nodes do not support multicast functionality. An overlay protocol monitors group dynamics, while underlying unicast protocols track network dynamics, resulting in more stable protocol operation and low control overhead even in a highly dynamic environment. But, if overlay multicast protocols does not know the location information of node, this makes it very difficult to build an efficient multicasting tree. So, we propose a Hierarchical Overlay Multicast Architecture (HOMA) with the location information. Because proposed architecture makes static region-based dynamic group by multicast members, it is 2-tired overlay multicasts of application layer that higher layer forms overlay multicast network between members that represent group, and support multicast between multicast members belonging to region at lower layer. This use GPS, take advantage of geographical region, and realizes a region-sensitive higher layer overlay multicast tree which is impervious to the movements of nodes. The simulation results show that our approach solves the efficiency problem effectively.

The tree topology in multicast systems has high transmission efficiency, low latency, but poor resilience to node failures. In our work, some nodes are selected as backbone nodes to construct a tree-like core overlay. Backbone nodes are reliable enough and have strong upload capacity as well, which is helpful to overcome the shortcomings of tree topology. The core overlay is organized into a spanning tree while the whole overlay is of mesh-like topology. This paper focuses on improving the performance of the application-layer multicast overlay by optimizing the core overlay which is periodically adjusted with the proposed optimization algorithm. Our approach is to construct the overlay tree based on the out-degree weighted reliability where the reliability of a node is weighted by its upload bandwidth (out-degree). There is no illegal solution during the evolution which ensures the evolution efficiency. Simulation results show that the proposed approach greatly enhances the reliability of the tree-like core overlay systems and achieves shorter delay simultaneously. Its reliability performance is better than the reliability-first algorithm and its delay is very close to that of the degree-first algorithm. The complexity of the proposed algorithm is acceptable for application. Therefore the proposed approach is efficient for the topology optimization of a real multicast overlay.

We propose The Fast Join Mechanism for overlay multicast. This mechanism is provided with RP(Rendezvous Point), SM(Session Manager) and overlay multicast nodes. The RP provides data transfer to overlay multicast nodes and the Session Manager controls overlay multicast nodes to maintain the overlay topology.

Overlay multicast is an emerging technology for next generation Internet service to various groups of multicast members. It will take the place of traditional IP multicast which is not widely deployed due to the complex nature of its technology. The overlay multicast which effectively reduces processing at IP routers can be easily deployed on top of a densely connected IP network. An end-to-end delay problem is considered which is serious in the multicast service. To periodically optimize the route in the overlay network and to minimize the maximum end-to-end delay, overlay multicast tree is investigated with genetic Algorithm. Outstanding experimental results are obtained which is comparable to the optimal solution and the tabu search.
