Abstract: | In multirate multicast different users in the same multicast group can receive services at different rates depending on their
own requirements and the congestion level of the network. In this two-part paper we present a general framework for addressing
the optimal rate control problem in multirate multicast where the objective is the maximization of a social welfare function
expressed by the sum of the users’ utility functions. In Part II we present a market based mechanism and an adjustment process
that have the following features. They satisfy the informational constraints imposed by the nature of multirate multicast;
and when they are combined with the results of Part I they result in an optimal solution of the corresponding centralized
multirate multicast problem. |
