WXCP: Explicit Congestion Control for Wireless Multi-hop Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
TCP experiences serious performance degradation in wireless multi-hop networks with its probe-based, loss-driven congestion control scheme. We describe the Wireless eXplicit Congestion control Protocol (WXCP), a new explicit flow control protocol for wireless multi-hop networks based on XCP. We highlight the approaches taken by WXCP to address the difficulties faced by the current TCP implementation in wireless multi-hop networks. Simulations with ns-2 show that WXCP outperforms current TCP implementations in terms of efficiency and fairness.

Congestion Control in Wireless Multi-hop Networks
Wireless multi-hop networks have been envisioned to have many potential applications, e.g., a small stand-alone network for a group of mobile users (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks), a costefficient stub-network to connect to the Internet (Wireless Mesh Networks), or a self-organized community network connecting houses together (Wireless Community Networks). However the preliminary deployment experience...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Routing Protocol and Congestion Control Protocol in Wireless Multi-hop Networks
Computer networks have long suffered from congestion. Congestion occurs when an increase in the offered load results in a decrease in the effective throughput of the network. The basic cause is that the short term packet arrival rate at some gateway exceeds its service rate. Existing congestion control schemes treat congestion as an individual problem and propose ad hoc solution that are dissat...

In this dissertation, we propose that it is necessary to consider wireless neighborhood as a single indivisible entity for congestion control in multi-hop wireless networks. We precisely define this neighborhood for a class of contention-based wireless networks and validate it with three protocols. We design IFRC, an openloop rate-based fully distributed congestion control protocol for multi-ho...

Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...
متن کاملDecoupling congestion control from TCP (semi-TCP) for multi-hop wireless networks
Although many problems for transmission control protocol (TCP) in multi-hop wireless networks have been studied with many proposals in the literature, they are not solved completely yet. Different from the existing proposals to mitigate the limitation of TCP in multi-hop wireless networks, we propose a framework of semi-TCP which decouples two functionalities of traditional TCP, i.e., congestio...
