During the last decades, many studies have been conducted on multicast routing in mobile
ad hoc networks (MANET) and a host of algorithms have been proposed. In existing …

In this paper, the quality of service multicast routing and channel assignment (QoS-MRCA)
problem is investigated. It is proved to be a NP-hard problem. Previous work separates the …

In this paper, we investigate the problem of quality-of-service (QoS) multicast routing for
multimedia group communications. We first develop a unified framework for achieving QoS …

This paper presents the first investigation on applying a particle swarm optimization (PSO)
algorithm to both the Steiner tree problem and the delay constrained multicast routing …

QoS multicast routing problem in WDM networks is investigated, and an improved algorithm
Multi-granularity Evolution based Quantum Genetic Algorithm (MEQGA) is proposed to …

Abstract Quality-of-service (QoS) multicast routing is essential to many network applications
such as IPTV, Internet radio, multimedia broadcasting, and real-time telecommunication …

In this paper, we study the problem of minimum-cost multicast with network coding, while the
maximum end-to-end weight, such as delay, throughput, and security, along paths from the …

The advent of various real-time multimedia applications in high-speed networks creates a
need for quality of service (QoS) based multicast routing. The Steiner tree problem, is a well …

This paper investigates the first hybrid scatter search and path relinking meta-heuristic for
the Delay-Constrained Least-Cost (DCLC) multicast routing problem. The underpinning …

This paper investigates least-cost QoS multicast routing problem in IP/DWDM optical
networks, and proposes an improved evolutionary algorithm (AEQEA). Based on quantum …
