TCP WestwoodVT: A Novel Technique for Discriminating the Cause of Packet Loss in Wireless Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Conventional TCP in wireless environment cannot differentiate packet losses caused by network congestion from those caused by wireless link errors, thus, resulting in severe performance degradation. Accordingly, efficient operation of TCP in wireless networks is a critical issue in the context of differentiation between packet loss. Towards this issue, the paper proposes a novel technique, WestwoodVT (WestwoodNR based on TCP Vegas buffer Thresholds), which is a sender-based TCP congestion control mechanism for discriminating the cause of packet loss to enhance the performance of TCP in wireless environment.

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?
