Utility max-min fairness and its application in ABR service

In this paper,a new max min fairness criterion is defined on the basic of utility function to realize fair allocation in utility.For ABR service the other two equivalent definitions of utility max min(UMM)fairness are proposed taking into account the minimal and maximal demands of users,and a centralized algorithm is devised to calculate the UMM fair share.Furthermore,we give the peak cell rate a new meaning in that it prevents from inefficient allocation caused by the saturation of user demand.UMM fairness not only generalizes the previous max min fairness in ABR service but also can be applied to a wide range of network resource allocation problems,especially with various kinds of applications.
