Abstract

We present a TCP-compatible and -friendly protocol which abolishes thr ee major shortfalls of TCP for reliable multimedia applications over heterogeneous networks: (i) ineffective bandwidth utilization, (ii) unnecessary congestion-oriented responses to wireless link errors (e.g., fading channels) and operations (e.g. handoffs), and (iii) wasteful window adjustments over asymmetric, low-bandwidth reverse paths. We propose TCP-Real, a high-throughput transport protocol that minimizes transmission-rate gaps, thereby enabling better performance and reasonable playback timers. In TCP-Real, the receiver decides with better accuracy about the appropriate size of the congestion window. Slow Start and timeout adjustments are used whenever congestion avoidance fails; however, rate and timeout adjustments are cancelled whenever the receiving rate indicates sufficient availability of bandwidth. We detail the protocol design and we report significant improvement on the performance of the protocol with time-constrained traffic, wireless link errors and asymmetric paths.

TCP CERL: congestion control enhancement over wireless networks

In this paper, we propose and verify a modified version of TCP Reno that we call TCP Congestion Control Enhancement for Random Loss (CERL). We compare the performance of TCP CERL, using simulations conducted in ns-2, to the following other TCP variants: ...
TCP Prairie: a sender-only TCP modification based on adaptive bandwidth estimation in wired-wireless networks

This paper presents a new TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) variant called TCP Prairie which is a sender-only TCP modification based on dynamic bandwidth estimation in wired-cum-wireless networks. The key idea here is to continuously measure the ...
