Abstract :
In this paper, we introduced an adaptive cumulative layered multicast scheme, ACLM, to address multicast receivers´ heterogeneity in available bandwidth. ACLM uses an optimal layer rate allocation algorithm which can maximally satisfy each receiver´s available bandwidth. Through a novel feedback aggregate algorithm, ACLM dynamically determines the number of layers and the rate of each layer. Simulation results show that ACLM is adaptive and TCP-friendly. Meanwhile it can optimize overall throughput.
