Abstract

This paper makes a survey of algorithms proposed for continuous media synchronization in network environments. We classify media synchronization control techniques used in the algorithms into four categories: basic control, preventive control, reactive control and common control. We also pick four representatives from among the media synchronization algorithms and give outlines of them in order to explain how the techniques are employed in each algorithm. Furthermore, we make a comparison among 38 algorithms in terms of factors such as clocks, advance information on network delay bounds and synchronization control techniques, which determine the design of each algorithm.
