Simulation-based investigation of TCP file transfers over UMTS
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper mainly describes the simulations that help better understand the implications and requirements when TCP traffics are carried over UMTS that is characterized by moderate bandwidth bearers with relatively high link error. Especially it was of great interest to gain insight that contributes to implement the Over-The-Air (OTA) service provisioning models in 3G environments.

The UMTS 3G system (3 rd generation cellular system) is designed to offer a packet switched mode for data transfers in parallel to a circuit switched mode. This feature was planned since the beginning of 3G studies, contrary to 2G ones (such as the GSM system). To provide reliable data transfers, protocols implementing ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) techniques are needed. In UMTS, up to three A...
متن کاملEFFECT OF TRANSFER FILE SIZE ON TCP-ADaLR PERFORMANCE: A SIMULATION STUDY
Large file transfers have become common with the increasing demand for bandwidth-intensive Internet applications. The transmission control protocol with adaptive delay and loss response algorithm (TCPADaLR) was proposed to improve TCP performance in the presence of large propagation delays and error losses. In this paper, we analyze the effect of transfer file size on the TCP-ADaLR performance ...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of TCP Variants over UMTS Networks
With the evolution of 3G technologies like Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), the usage of TCP has become more popular for a reliable end-to-end (e2e) data delivery. However, TCP was initially designed for wired networks and therefore it suffers performance degradation due to the radio signal getting affected by fading, shadowing and interference. There are many strategies propos...
متن کاملEnd-to-end evaluation of WWW and file transfer performance for UMTS-TDD
Wireless data is deemed as a major booster of next generation wireless networks. In this context, the support of Internet applications based on the TCP still presents several open issues. The aim of this work is to evaluate the performance of TCP data transfer over the UMTS TD-CDMA air interface, by means of a rather detailed simulation model. The evaluation includes both bulk FTP like data tra...
متن کاملThe Effect of the Initial Window Size and Limited Transmit Algorithm on the Transient Behavior of TCP Transfers
We study the impact of the modifications proposed for TCP in the context of short file transfers. The two most important proposals are the increment of the initial window size (IW) [3] and the Limited Transmit algorithm (LT) [1]. We analyze analytically and by simulations the effect of these proposals on the TCP latency. We demonstrate that the LT proposal reduces the TCP latency similarly to t...
