The emerging low earth orbit (LEO) broadband constellations are capable of distributing videos via advanced multicasting techniques to multiplex bandwidth in both satellite access and backbone networks, thereby reducing huge amounts of traffics. Previous work on LEO-based multicast routing relied on IP multicast, which fails to employ global information to achieve the optimal bandwidth saving. In this article, we leverage the novel software-defined multicasting paradigm on LEO constellations to empower advanced video distribution with optimized multicast trees, thereby significantly outperforming conventional multicasting techniques. In the presence of quality-of-service (QoS) constraints, we propose weighted rectilinear Steiner minimal trees (WRSTs), which balance bandwidth saving and QoS requirements. Our multicast tree algorithm adopts the Voronoi diagram and Delaunay triangulation to obtain suitable candidate Steiner points, which are exploited by subsequent iterative edge substitutions for WRST construction. We also design QoS-aware multicast management schemes to deal with frequent member updates and potential failures in LEO constellations. We carry out thorough experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed routing tree construction algorithm and multicasting protocols when compared with traditional algorithms.
