Determination of Efficient bandwidth utilization During Multicast using Data Envelopment Analysis

Abstract

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is an operational research tool that is used for measuring the performance efficiency of an algorithm or organization. In this paper, DEA is applied on the simulation results of an Improved Network Coding Algorithm (INCA) with two and three performance in order to establish the performance efficiency of the two algorithms in terms of bandwidth utilization during video conferencing over a wireless network. Most researches which focus largely on determining the effectiveness of the INCA in terms of bandwidth consumption during video conferencing. However, this approach which uses DEA, the simulation results showed that the INCA with two parameters is the most cost-Efficient algorithm in terms of performance than the INCA with three parameters.

Comparison of Performance Efficiency of Improved Network Coding Multicast Algorithms using Data Envelopment Analysis

“…In this paper, the efficiencies of the two models will be compared on the simulation results obtained for the Improved Network Coding Algorithm with two and three parameters. Recent researches conducted by [16] - [18] focused on performance efficiency of the INCA using VRS and CRS models. The INCA can be expressed as linear programming optimization problem of equation (1) [6]:…”

“…The scope of research carried out in [16]also incorporated the VRS model to determine the performance efficiency of the INCA with two and three parameters . Simulation results clearly established that the INCA with three parameters outperformed the INCA with two parameters for cost efficient multicast.The gap identified in this review was the failure to apply the two models with a view of comparing their efficiency.…”

“…Determination of efficient bandwidth utilization during multicast using Data Envelopment Analysis was carried out by [16] The DEA was used based on the assumption of constant return to scale model (CRS). The aim of the research is to determine the performance efficiency of the INCA with two and three parameters in terms of bandwidth utilization.…”
