A Cross Layer Congestion Control Algorithm in Wireless Networks for TCP Reno-2

چکیده
In this paper, we discuss a cross layer congestion control technique of TCP Reno-2 in wireless networks. In this both TCP layer and PHY layer jointly control congestion. The PHY layer changes transmission power as per the channel condition, interference received and congestion in the network, whereas the TCP layer controls congestion using Reno-2 window based flow control. Our simulations show that the cross layer congestion control technique provides performance improvement in terms of throughput and window size variations.

On Cross Layer Congestion Control for CDMA-based Ad-hoc Networks
We investigate a cross layer congestion control technique for TCP Reno-2 (NewReno) in CDMA-based wireless ad-hoc networks in which both TCP layer and PHY layer jointly control congestion. The PHY layer varies transmission power based on the channel condition, interference power received and congestion in the network and seeks to transmit at a minimum power level, whereas the TCP layer controls ...
متن کاملTCP In Conflict-Based Wireless Links
Abstract : TCP’s bidirectional traffic causes self-interference in contention-based wireless links as in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs and results in the loss of TCP data segments and ACKs. The fast-recovery algorithm is the basis for congestion control in most TCP enhancements proposed to address wireless network characteristics. However we show in this paper, that fast-recovery worsens performanc...
متن کاملTCP Westwood: End-to-End Congestion Control for Wired/Wireless Networks
TCP Westwood (TCPW) is a sender-side modification of the TCP congestion window algorithm that improves upon the performance of TCP Reno in wired as well as wireless networks. The improvement is most significant in wireless networks with lossy links. In fact, TCPW performance is not very sensitive to random errors, while TCP Reno is equally sensitive to random loss and congestion loss and cannot...

متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Tcp Congestion Control Algorithms over Umts
TCP congestion control was designed and optimized for wired networks. During recent years, however, the popularity of wireless network infrastructures enabling ubiquitous Internet access, such as Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), has grown considerably. As a consequence, many improved TCP congestion control algorithms, able to effectively operate over hybrid wired/wireless netwo...
