Abstract :
In this paper, we present an analytical solution to the problem of rate allocation and receiver partitioning in layered media systems. The framework of our proposed protocol layered media multicast control (LMMC) determines the layer rates and the corresponding partitioning of the receivers maximizing a mathematically well-behaved approximation of the so-called max-min fairness metric.
