Multimedia data communication in broadcasting environments

Nowadays broadcasting and multimedia applications are widely used in data transmission environment such as Internet. Multicast routing algorithms cannot support more than one different sessions or broadcasting. This paper presents a new broadcasting approach, Optimal Multicast Multi-Sources Routing(OMMSR) algorithm, which combines n ≥ 2 multicast sessions together to make a single broadcasting session. The simulation results and numerical computations will show that our new broadcasting approach as compared to available multicast routing algorithms has more data rate and efficiency and reduces computation time.
