Window Adaptive TCP for EGPRS Networks

چکیده
INTRODUCTION With the explosive growth of cellular voice services in the past few years, it is expected that there will be a tremendous demand for wireless data service in the future. When the medium that people use to access to the Internet changes from wireline to wireless networks, many protocols that were originally developed in the wireline environment will face the new challenges unique to the wireless environment. As a vital part of the Internet transmission protocol, TCP has received a lot of attention and many research studies investigate its performance over wireless links in various wireless networks [1, 2, 3, 4]. TCP was originally designed for wireline networks. In a mobile environment, new problems emerge due to the difference between wireline and wireless networks. In GPRS/EGPRS and other 3G cellular systems, there is a new feature: the use of variable rate channel coders. Unlike GSM that only supports circuit-switched data transmission with rates up to 9.6 kbps, EGPRS offers packet-switched data transmission with rates ranging from 8.8 kbps to 59.2 kbps per channel by choosing appropriate coding schemes according to the condition of the radio link. More over, EGPRS allows a

Almost a decade long research on the performance of TCP in wireless networks has resulted in a several proposals and solutions to the problem of throughput throttling. Over the years, end-to-end solutions [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], splitconnection schemes [7], [8] and adaptive link-layer solutions [1], [9] have been proposed, refined and evaluated for their relative merit [1]. Several of the...
متن کاملTCP-Adaptive in High Speed Long Distance Networks
With the development of high performance computing and increasing of network bandwidth, more and more applications require fast data transfer over high-speed long-distance networks. Research shows that the standard TCP Reno cannot fulfill the requirement of fast transfer of massive data due to its conservative congestion control mechanism. Some works have been proposed to improve the TCP throug...
متن کاملHigh Performance Wireless Networking: Adaptation of the Networking Stack to Radio Conditions
As systems and protocols have evolved to facilitate fast and reliable communication, wireless networks have deservedly been the focus of research for ubiquitous access to communication infrastructure. The network stack design for wireless access technologies differs from the wire-line case in that the unreliability of communication over the physical medium necessitates adaptation to radio condi...
متن کاملIncreasing TCP Capacity in Wireless Multihop Networks
It is reported in the literature that a TCP connection with small window size achieves high throughput in wireless multihop networks. In this paper, we claim that TCP can benefit more from delaying ACK rather than limiting the window size. Since the induced delay may result in lengthy transfer time for short connections, we propose an adaptive delayed ACK algorithm at the receiver to enhance TC...
متن کاملComparative Study of Different Adaptive Window Protocols
We study an Adaptive Window Protocol (AWP) with general increase and decrease profiles in the presence of window dependent random losses. We derive a steady-state Kolmogorov equation, and then obtain its solution in analytic form for particular TCP versions proposed for high speed networks, such as Scalable TCP and HighSpeed TCP. We also relate window evolution under an AWP to workload process ...
