A Simple and Effective End-to-End Approach to Increase TCP Throughput Over Ad-Hoc Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

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.

The techs SMEs need for converged telecoms

Much like wired Ethernet before it, wi-fi networks were not designed specifically to carry voice. WMM also introduces a mechanism for guaranteeing quality of service for voice calls. While UMA carries a GSM call over different networks, SIP is a...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
