Introduction • Single-source/Single-stream Multicast Network: Construction of a MST connecting a single source and multiple receiver nodes • Single-source/Multi-stream Multicast Network: Content distribution systems using MDC/SVC streams. • Multi-source/Single-stream Multicast: Constructing a forest of trees connecting multiple sources with multiple receiver nodes. • Multi-source/Multi-stream systems such as 3D Virtual Immersive Systems, 3D Videoconferencing, Online games, etc.
Example – Multi-source/Multi-stream System • 3DTI environment provides a collaborative virtual space for geographically distributed users. • Multiple 3D cameras installed for capturing the same scene from various viewpoints. • Each 3D camera produces a video stream. • Multiple streams are transmitted from each node to all other nodes since each node acts a source and a receiver.

Introduction • Latency Variation is an important QoS constraint for Multi-source/Multi-stream systems. • Problem known as Delay Variation Bounded Multicast Network (DVBMN) in the literature. Proved to be NP-complete by Rouskas et al. and thereafter many heuristics proposed. • Multi-source/Multi-stream latency and latency-variation constraints: E2E from source to destination, Inter-stream, Inter-Source & Intra-Source Latency Variation. • Intra-source is important for 3DTI applications due to the high correlation factor among the multiple streams from the same source.

Heuristic Solution: Algorithm • A 2-step framework: • K-shortest-path Algorithm: • Involves the computation of k-shortest path from each • source to all the destination nodes. • Generates ‘d*s’ lists with ‘k’ elements in each list. • State-of-art ksp Algorithm: Recursive Enumeration • Algorithm(REA) by Jimenez et al.
Heuristic Solution: Algorithm • M SLV Algorithm: • Involve a selection of paths for the construction of forest • i.e., multiple multicast trees connecting one source node • to the set of destination nodes. • Selecting ‘d*s’ path latency values from ‘d*s*k’ elements. • Path Latency values. • The Path Latency values should satisfy the constraints: • C1: E2E latency bound (∆), C2: Latency Variation among • any path(β), and C3: Inter-Source LatencyVariation(λT).

Summary • Studied construction of multicast networks with multiple sources • and receivers. • Satisfying different Latency Variation constraints which are • important for real-time multi-party/multi-stream systems. • A 2-step heuristic framework consisting of an initial ksp-algorithm • to generate shortest paths from sources to receivers followed by • a path selection process to satisfy the various hard/soft • constraints. • Future work involves to investigate the problem with link capacities • as time-varying functions and decentralized solutions with • node/network dynamics.
