As a promising multi-rate video broadcasting algorithm to heterogeneous receivers, RLM uses periodically conducting a combination of “join-experiments” and “branch pruning” events to manage network congestion.

An Implementation Method of QoS Filtering for Real-Time Video Multicast;

Fair resource allocation in networks with coexisting unicast and multirate multicast flows;

To settle the heterogeneity of bandwidth required by real-time multimedia application, the max-min rate allocation problem of multirate multicast is studied in heterogeneous Overlay networks.

This paper aimed at the solution of layered multirate multicast focusing on the fair problem of network with coexistence of multirate multicast and TCP unicast.

DAMCC: Improved multi-rate multicast congestion control protocol

Instead of re-layering and re-allocating sending rates, multi-rate multicast with intra-layer rate adjustment distributes layer s sending rate into fixed intervals and adjusts the actual layer s sending rate within its interval according to the selected delegate of the layer group.

In this paper, the generalized multi-rate multicast weight-based fair rate allocation problem is studied.
