Wireless TCP proposals with proxy servers in the GPRS network

چکیده
The General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) system will offer to the users an easy access to Internet applications which work with the TCP protocol. We analyse by means of simulations the performance in the GPRS network of the following wireless TCP proposals that use a proxy server: the Snoop protocol and the Split mechanism. We also describe the impact of the GPRS LLC layer in Acknowledged mode in the TCP end-toend throughput. Unlike previous research we consider two scenarios for the GPRS radio interface: one with several users present in the system, and the other with only one user in it.

Proxy-based Flow Aggregation for Enhanced TCP over GPRS
Throughout the world, GSM cellular mobile networks are being upgraded to support the “alwayson” General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). Despite the apparent availability of levels of bandwidth not dissimilar to that provided by conventional fixed-wire telephone modems, the user experience using GPRS is considerably worse. In this paper we examine the performance of protocols such as TCP over GPRS,...

Throughout the world, GSM cellular mobile networks are being upgraded to support the “always-on” General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). Despite the apparent availability of levels of bandwidth not dissimilar to that provided by conventional fixed-wire telephone modems, the user experience using GPRS is currently considerably worse.

متن کاملPractical experience with TCP over GPRS
We present the results of a series of experiments used to characterise the performance of a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) wireless data network, hence highlighting issues that software architects should consider when designing applications to run over this soon to be widely-deployed service. In summary, we show that packet Round Trip Time (RTTs) are large ( 1000ms) and can be highly varia...
متن کاملEngineering Mobile Proxy Design for Wide-Area Wireless
The vision of a broadly unified and pervasive communication paradigm where people can freely communicate with wide range of devices (phones, PDAs, palmtops etc.) using networks of wired and wireless links is gradually taking shape [3], [11], [12]. Applications that will run over a communication infrastructure composed of heterogeneous links (wired and wireless) will be susceptible to the vagari...
متن کاملInference and Evaluation of Split-Connection Approaches in Cellular Data Networks
Numerous mechanisms have been proposed for improving TCP performance over wireless links, including those in wireless cellular networks. In this paper, we infer the existence and investigate the performance of one class of these performance-enhancing approaches, split-connection approaches, in commercial cellular data networks. Special attention is given to the so called Split-TCP and TCP proxy...
