Routing in Ad Hoc Networks for Processing Many Short-Lived TCP Connections

Tags:
switching

Overview Wireless ad hoc network is expected to be integrated with wired networks and many applications will communicate with TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). Many studies have been dedicated to improving the TCP performance over ad hoc networks. However, most of these studies assumed a persistent TCP connection. This is clearly inadequate because many TCP connections are actually short-lived. For such connections, the routing latency in ad hoc networks is considerable. This paper proposes a new ad hoc routing protocol, the Low-latency Hybrid Routing protocol (LHR), that is suitable for a network where many TCP connections are short-lived. According to simulation results, LHR achieves a better performance than other existing routing protocols because LHR can establish TCP connections more quickly than other routing protocols.

GPRS networks lose 43 per cent of data

Up to 43 per cent of data packets got lost on the way from the radio terminal to the mast, and the latency - or the delay between a request and a response - was up to five seconds. Most TCP connections will have timed out after five seconds.

At that time such connections were very expensive and computers inherently need to communicate with multiple destinations at the same time for seconds and not point-to-point for minutes. Instead of a known and dedicated connection, each packet may...

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

Any 'latency' - the delay in delivering the voice stream from the speaker to the listener - degrades the quality of the sound as does 'jitter' and 'packet loss'. Transmission control protocol (TCP) arranges them in the right order.

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.
