| contents | The surge in popularity of short-form video content, particularly through platforms like TikTok and Instagram, has led to an exponential increase in data traffic, presenting significant challenges in network resource management. Traditional unicast streaming methods, while straightforward, are inefficient in scenarios where videos need to be delivered to a large number of users simultaneously. Multicast streaming, which sends a single stream to multiple users, can drastically reduce the required bandwidth, yet it introduces complexities in resource allocation, especially in wireless environments where bandwidth is limited and user demands are heterogeneous. This paper introduces a novel multicast resource management framework tailored for the efficient distribution of short-form video content. The proposed framework dynamically optimizes resource allocation to enhance Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) for multiple users, balancing the trade-offs between cost, efficiency, and user satisfaction. We implement a series of optimization algorithms that account for diverse network conditions and user requirements, ensuring optimal service delivery across varying network topologies. Experimental results demonstrate that our framework can effectively reduce bandwidth usage and decrease video startup delay compared to traditional multicast approaches, significantly improving overall user satisfaction. This study not only advances the understanding of multicast streaming dynamics but also provides practical insights into scalable and efficient video distribution strategies in congested network environments. |
