Multicast services have been increasingly used by various continuous media applications.
The QoS requirements of these continuous media applications prompt the necessity for QoS …

In multicasting routing, the main objective is to send data from one or more sources to
multiple destinations, while at the same time minimizing the usage of resources. Examples …

This is an introduction to multicast routing, which is the study of methods for routing from one
source to many destinations, or from many sources to many destinations. Multicast is …

This paper discusses quality-of-service (QoS) multicast in wavelength-division multiplexing
(WDM) networks. Given a set of QoS multicast requests, we are to find a set of cost …

With the increasing demand for real-time services in next generation wireless networks,
quality-of-service (QoS) based routing offers significant challenges. Multimedia applications …

This paper proposes a novel and efficient distributed flow control scheme for multirate
multicast (MR-M), based on the well-known Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) …

In this paper, the problem of dynamic quality-of-service (QoS) multicast routing in mobile ad
hoc networks is investigated. Lots of interesting works have been done on multicast since it …

This paper presents a theoretical representation of a stochastic traffic bound (σ', ρ') that
consists of two items, the burstiness bound σ'and the bound of long-term average rate ρ' …

In this paper, we study the minimum-cost quality-of-service multicast and unicast routing
problems in communication networks. For the multicast problem, we present an efficient …

In this paper, we investigate the issues of QoS multicast routing in wireless ad hoc networks.
Due to limited bandwidth of a wireless node, a QoS multicast call could often be blocked if …
