Improving TCP Performance Over Mobile Wireless Environments Using Cross Layer Feedback

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is known to suffer from performance degradation in mobile wireless environments. This is because such environments are prone to packet losses due to high bit error rates and mobility induced disconnections. TCP interprets packet losses as an indication of congestion and inappropriately invokes congestion control mechanisms, which leads to degraded performance. This paper shows how cross-layer feedback, i.e. information from layers above and below, may be used to improve TCP performance over wireless networks.

The Bloor Perspective: Intel and Linux; Orange and WAP; and Team Tandem make a comeback

Orange may intend to charge for premium WAP services - indeed, it's ideally placed to do so as it controls both the data feeds and the billing mechanisms - but when doing so they would do well to take these rules into account.

The A-Z of ebusiness (T-U)

It consists of two layers, the address part of each protocol (the IP element), which deals with the packets while the higher layer (the TCP protocol) operates both to assemble the file into smaller packets for transmission of the packets or...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Circuit or packet, clean or dirty?

It is impossible to control the internet in the same way we control the telephone network and so congestion, collisions and traffic jams cause delays, bunching of packets in an unpredictable manner. The move from circuit- to packet-switched IP...

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Logistics on the move

But it is not only trucks that suffer minimal average loads, so do containers and ships on the basis of our inability to efficiently, economically and safely mix loads from several customers into ship board containers.

Secure VoIP has arrived

TCP uses packet retransmission, which means that packets can be delayed en route to their destination. On Tuesday, Net6 announced several enhancements to its VPN gateway that enhance the quality of service for all voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Fat cat telcos are killing the net

Yes, it all works to some degree some of the time but continually increasing the number of VoIP and videoconference calls, radio and TV broadcasts just creates congestion, increased latencies and ultimately one meltdown after another.

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.
