碩士 === 國立高雄第一科技大學 === 電腦與通訊工程所 === 93 === As the advances of Internet technology, people get used to retrieve multimedia information through the Internet. A good multicast video transmission system plays an important role in smoothly transmit multimedia information from video server to multiple clients. In addition , the system are designed for the purpose of constructing the framework for distance learning. Thus, the real-time and QoS requirement of multimedia communication is remain challenge in the designing of multicast video transmission systems. Considering the efficiency usage, we propose a multicast algorithm based on the well-known binary search tree structure. In this thesis, the intelligent agents, which are proved to be self-contained, are used to construct the proposed application-oriented multicast transmission framework. In order to maintain the states of agents, we use XML technology as the standard communication interface for agents. The states of agents to maintain include the time of log in and log out, and the index of currently browsed. Furthermore, a fast loss recovery mechanism with the aims of meeting the QoS requirement is also proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed multicast algorithm method is effective and superior to other in terms of overall computational complexity.
