TCP Performance in Wireless Mobile Multi-Hop Ad Hoc Networks
Overview There are many issues that limit the performance of wireless mobile Multi-hop Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). One of them is that TCP is not well adapted to networks where routes can change or disappear often. In this paper the behaviour of a standard TCP implementation is studied in situations typical for MANETs and compared to the behaviour of a partial implementation of a ATCP, a TCP modification that is intended to increase performance in MANETs. Simulations with simple scenarios show that TCP easily creates a full network load which causes send failures and decreased throughput performance. In some cases the partial ATCP implementation increases throughput but more often it causes an increased amount of duplicate retransmissions.
