A Simple and Effective End-to-End Approach to Increase TCP Throughput Over Ad-Hoc Networks
Overview This paper studies the behavior of TCP protocol over multihop ad-hoc networks. TCP is a reliable transport protocol that at first was conceived for wired networks. The congestion control mechanism of TCP is designed for wired environments and is not adapted with wireless networks such as multihop ad-hoc networks which have different characteristics in terms of loss. TCP congestion control mechanism is based on the fact that the main reason of loss in wired networks is the buffer overflow. This mechanism is not adapted with ad-hoc networks where the main reason of loss is link contention caused by hidden terminal problem.
