Performance Analysis of TCP Fairness Between Wired and Wireless Sessions

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview A significant amount of wireless traffic will be carried in the Internet, and wireless connections need to share the network resources with wired connections. However, in a wireless network environment, TCP, one of the most important transport protocol of TCP/IP, suffers from significant throughput degradation due to the lossy characteristics of a wireless link. Therefore, in order to design the next generation mobile networks, it is necessary to know how much the wireless connection suffers from the degradation in comparison to the wired connection. This paper discusses the fairness issue between TCP connections over wireless and wired links, and theoretically analyze throughput fairness between TCP over wireless link with ARQ(Automatic Repeat reQuest)-based link layer error recovery and TCP over error-free wired link.

Fly me to the moon (and let us email round the stars)

Connecting these local networks are backbone connections between hubs that hold the data and transmit it between the local networks (such as a high-power transmitter on the orbiting probe that sends the data back to Earth when it can).

GPRS networks lose 43 per cent of data

Most TCP connections will have timed out after five seconds. We've built a protocol that cuts most of that toing and froing out by managing the connection intelligently at either end. Up to 43 per cent of data packets got lost on the way from the...

Cracked: The Great Firewall of China

The researchers found it was possible to circumvent the Chinese intrusion detection systems (IDS) by ignoring the forged TCP resets injected by the Chinese routers, which would normally force the endpoints to abandon the connection.

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.
