Selective-TCP for Wired/Wireless Networks

چکیده
One of the main reasons for TCP's degraded performance in wireless networks is TCP's interpretation that packet loss is caused by congestion. However, in wireless networks, packet loss occurs mostly due to high bit error rate, packet corruption, or link failure. TCP performance in wired/wireless networks may be substantially improved if the cause of packet loss could be distinguished and appropriate rectifying measures taken dynamically. We propose a new end-to-end TCP protocol named SelectiveTCP, which distinguishes between congestion and wireless link transmission losses (high bit error rate and/or packet corruption). When detecting packet loss, Selective-TCP invokes correction mechanisms. It is suited for mixed wired/wireless networks and shows increase in goodput when compared to TCP NewReno.

Performance analysis of TCP fairness between wired and wireless sessions
Abstract—A significant amount of wireless traffic will be carried in the Internet, and wireless connections need to share the network resources with wired connections. However, in a wireless network environment, TCP, one of the most important transport protocol of TCP/IP, suffers from significant throughput degradation due to the lossy characteristics of a wireless link. Therefore, in order to ...
متن کاملEnhancement of TCP over wired/wireless networks with packet loss classifiers inferred by supervised learning
TCP is suboptimal in heterogeneous wired/wireless networks because it reacts in the same way to losses due to congestion and losses due to link errors. In this paper, we propose to improve TCP performance in wired/wireless networks by endowing it with a classifier that can distinguish packet loss causes. In contrast to other proposals we do not change TCP’s congestion control nor TCP’s error re...
متن کاملAn Improved Snoop for Tcp Reno and Tcp Sack in Wired-cum- Wireless Networks
TCP is the most widely used transport protocol originally designed for wired networks. But many experiments have shown that its performance is poor when used in wireless networks. Also improving its performance in wired-cum-wireless networks preserving the end-to-end nature of TCP is a difficult task. To address this issue, several new protocols and TCP modifications have been proposed. Snoop i...
متن کاملTCP Congestion Control Scheme for Wireless Networks based on TCP Reserved Field and SNR Ratio
Currently, TCP is the most popular and widely used network transmission protocol. In actual fact, about 90% of connections on the internet use TCP to communicate. Through several upgrades and improvements, TCP became well optimized for the very reliable wired networks. As a result, TCP considers all packet timeouts in wired networks as due to network congestion and not to bit errors. However, w...
متن کاملEnhancement of Tcp Performance with the Help of Snoop Protocol in Wired Cum Wireless Network
The TCP networks have been the only communication for wired media that followed IEEE 802.3 networks. This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of this Link Layer approach i.e. Snoop protocol that improving throughput of TCP in wireless networks. It first explains the role of Snoop protocol that overcomes the limitations of TCP protocols in wireless media. We investigated the appli...
