Least cost heuristic for the delay-constrained capacitated minimum spanning tree problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study deals with the Delay-Constrained Capacitated Minimum Spanning Tree (DC-CMST) problem arising in topology discovery of local network. While the traditional Capacitated Minimum Spanning Tree (CMST) problem deals with only traffic capacity constraint of a port of a source node, and Delay-Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree (DCMST) considers only the maximum end-to-end delay constraint, the DC-CMST problem deals with mean network delay and traffic capacity constraints simultaneously. The DC-CMST problem consists of finding a set of minimum cost spanning trees to link end-nodes to a source node which satisfy the traffic requirements at end-nodes and the required mean delay of a network. We formulate the DC-CMST problem and present the Least-Cost DC-CMST Heuristic, which consists of node exchange algorithm, node shift algorithm, and mean delay link capacity algorithm to solve the DC-CMST problem. Results from performance analysis show that the proposed heuristic can produce, in a very short computation time, better results than the previous CMST algorithms modified to solve the DC-CMST problem. The proposed Least-Cost DC-CMST Heuristic can be applied to the topological design of large local networks and to the construction of least cost broadcast and multicast trees for efficient routing algorithms. q 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Exact algorithm for delay-constrained capacitated minimum spanning tree network
The delay-constrained capacitated minimum spanning tree (DC-CMST) problem of finding several broadcast trees from a source node is discussed. While the traditional CMST problem deals with only the traffic capacity constraint served by a port of the source node, and delay-constrained minimum spanning tree (DCMST) considers only the maximum end–end delay constraint, the DC-CMST problem deals with...
متن کاملThe delay-constrained minimum spanning tree problem
We formulate the problem of constructing broadcast trees for real-time traffic with delay constraints in networks with asymmetric link loads as a delay-constrained minimum spanning tree (DCMST) problem in directed networks. Then, we prove that this problem is NP-complete, and we propose an efficient heuristic to solve the problem based on Prim’s algorithm for the unconstrained minimum spanning ...
متن کاملA Multilevel Heuristic for the Rooted Delay-Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree Problem
The rooted delay-constrained minimum spanning tree (RDCMST) problem is an NP-hard [3] combinatorial optimization problem. The objective is to find a minimum cost spanning tree in a given graph with cost and delay values assigned to each edge. Additionally, a delay-bound is given limiting the maximum delay allowed for each path between a specified root vertex and any other vertex in the graph. T...

This study deals with the topology discovery for the capacitated minimum spanning tree network. The problem is composed of finding the best way to link nodes to a source node and, in graph-theoretical terms, it is to determine a minimal spanning tree with a capacity constraint. In this paper, a heuristic algorithm with two phases is presented. Computational complexity analysis and simulation co...
متن کاملA Metaheuristic Algorithm for the Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Tree Problem
The routing cost of a spanning tree in a weighted and connected graph is defined as the total length of paths between all pairs of vertices. The objective of the minimum routing cost spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree such that its routing cost is minimum. This is an NP-Hard problem that we present a GRASP with path-relinking metaheuristic algorithm for it. GRASP is a multi-start ...
