Abstract

Nowadays Internet Mobile terminals are now all equipped with 802.11 devices. Moreover, a high and increasing number of hot spots are deployed in a variety of places, such as homes, cafes and airports. A typical mobile user uses TCP-based applications to access emails, browse the web or download files from the Internet. Thus the selfish interest for a user to have a better performing version of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

Efficient new delayed ACK for TCP: old problem, new insight
MSWiM '13: Proceedings of the 16th ACM international conference on Modeling, analysis & simulation of wireless and mobile systems

When a TCP connection experiences a timeout, the sender must wait at least RTO_min (Minimum Retransmission Timeout) before doing the retransmission, during which the channel may be completely idle, undermining the throughput and channel efficiency. In ...

Analyzing TCP operation over 802.11 multihop ad hoc networks involves a cross-layer study. In this work, we investigate the effect of congestion and MAC contention on the interaction between TCP and on-demand ad hoc routing protocol in the 802.11 ad hoc ...
