In conventional multicast communication, the source carries a single
conversation with all destination nodes. If a node on the path to any
destination becomes congested, the throughput to all destinations is reduced,
thus treating some destination nodes unfairly. We consider a window-controlled
multipoint connection and study the use of destination set grouping, where the
destination set can be split into disjoint subgroups with the source carrying
independent conversations with each subgroup. We present a static grouping
heuristic that can obtain near optimum grouping for static network environments
and a dynamic grouping protocol which can adjust the grouping and the window
sizes per group in response to changing network conditions. The performance of
the static grouping heuristic and the dynamic grouping protocol are studied
using simulation and compared with single-group multicasting.

GroupSAC: Efficient Consensus in the Presence of Groupings
Ni, Kai; Jin, Hailin; Dellaert, Frank (Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-09)We present a novel variant of the RANSAC algorithm that is much more efficient, in particular when dealing with problems with low inlier ratios. Our algorithm assumes that there exists some grouping in the data, based ... -
