Multicast Feedback Control Protocol for Hierarchical Aggregation in Fixed and Mobile Networks

چکیده
For large-scale multimedia distributions, multicast is the preferred method of communication. ASM (Any Source Multicast) and SSM (SourceSpecific Multicast) are the two types of multicast used. ASM is designed for either many-to-many or one-to-many communication. SSM is derived from ASM. SSM is used when only one session member is allowed to send data. An example use of SSM could be an IPTV broadcasting system over fixed or mobile network. The paper deals with describing hierarchical aggregation for feedback transmission in SSM. For the purpose of hierarchical aggregation, multicast receivers are organized into a tree structure. We present a tree structure consisting of end and summarization nodes. End nodes act as multicast receivers and summarization nodes perform feedback aggregation. The proposed MFCP (Multicast Feedback Control Protocol) is used to establish the tree structure and to exchange signalization needed for the feedback hierarchical aggregation.

Large-Scale RTCP Feedback Optimization
Nowadays, multimedia streaming is a common service on the Internet including both fixed and mobile networks. The RTP protocol is usually used to transfer the media. The RTCP protocol is an accompanying protocol for the RTP and it is used for feedback transmission in order to control multimedia session behaviour. The issue is the bandwidth dedicated for the RTCP protocol. As defined in the RTP s...

Hierarchical feedback aggregation is an enhancement to the RTP/RTCP (Real Time Protocol/Real Time Control Protocol) when the SSM (Source-Specific Multicast) is employed. The main purpose of feedback transmission is to provide information about media delivery and information needed for RTP/RTCP session management. This paper deals with a tree structure for hierarchical feedback aggregation speci...

For supporting handoff mobile users on heterogeneous wireless networks to synchronously receive and play out multicast multimedia stream data, we propose a two-layer Hierarchical Synchronized Multimedia Multicast (HSMM) architecture to enhance the single-layer Synchronized Multimedia Multicast (SMM). In HSMM, each wireless network operator can adapt its own management mechanism, such as routing...
متن کاملComparing Two Reliable Multicast Protocols for Mobile Computing
As networks with mobile devices becorne commonplace, many new applications for those networks arisc, including some that require coordination among groups of mobile clients. One basic tool for implementing coordination is reliable multicast, where delivery of a multicast message is atomic, i.e. cither all or none of the group members deliver the message. While several multicast protocols have b...
