TCP Unfairness In Ad Hoc Wireless Networks And A Neighborhood RED Solution
White Papers Significant TCP unfairness in ad hoc wireless networks has been reported during the past several years. This unfairness results from the nature of the shared wireless medium and location dependency. If a node is viewed and its interfering nodes to...

Data Link Layer Control Methods For Performance Improvement Of TCP Over An Ad Hoc Network
White Papers In order to increase TCP performance in an ad hoc network, support from the lower layers of the transport layer is required. Although retransmission by the data link layer is generally required for errors on a wireless channel in ad hoc networks...

Effects Of Multipath Routing On TCP Performance In Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers In mobile ad hoc networks, one might expect multipath routing to provide some robustness to link failures and facilitate the transmission of packets along paths that avoid regions of congestion. This paper considers TCP goodput as the metric of...

Improving TCP Performance In Ad Hoc Networks Using Signal Strength Based Link Management
White Papers Mobility in ad hoc networks causes frequent link failures, which in turn causes packet losses. TCP attributes these packet losses to congestion. This incorrect inference results in frequent TCP retransmission time-outs and therefore degradation in...

Alleviating Effects Of Mobility On TCP Performance In Ad Hoc Networks Using Signal Strength Based Link Management
White Papers Mobility in ad hoc networks causes link failures, which in turn result in packet losses. TCP attributes these losses to congestion. This results in frequent TCP retransmission timeouts and degradation in TCP performance even at light loads.

Analysis Of TCP Performance On Ad Hoc Networks Using Preemptive Maintenance Routing
White Papers In mobile Ad hoc networks, the topology of the network is constantly changing as nodes move in and out of each others range, breaking and establishing links. TCP performs poorly in such networks because packets that are lost due to path...

A Cross Layer Analysis Of TCP Instability In Multihop Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers It is well-known that due to the nature of some ad hoc network applications (e.g.emergency operation, battlefield communication), TCP instability can have a devastating impact on the Quality of Service requirements.

TCP Adaptive RTO To Improve TCP Performance In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers This paper proposes a new mechanism called TCP Adaptive RTO (TCP AR) that improves TCP performance in mobile ad hoc network s. In a mobile ad hoc network, temporary link failures and route changes occur frequently.

An Edge-Based Approach For Improving TCP In Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) experiences severe performance degradation within wireless mobile ad hoc networks. The main reason is that the regular TCP does not discriminate packet losses due to medium error and disconnection (mobility...

Hidden Terminal Analysis On TCP Stability Over Multihops Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers The goodput of TCP flow over multihops ad hoc networks varies enormously with the increase of hops number between the sender and receiver. This jitter leads to the TCP instability and impediments the web applications in multihops ad hoc networks.

Balancing Throughput And Fairness For TCP Flows In Multihop Ad-Hoc Networks
White Papers Analyzing transport layer operation and enhancing its performance over multihop ad hoc networks have attracted a lot of attentions. Although the fundamental reasons for the performance degradation of TCP have been studied for many years, the tight...

Improvement Of TCP Throughput By Combination Of Data And ACK Packets In Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers Since a radio channel is shared among terminals in an ad hoc network, packet collisions are frequent. In case of transmitting packets especially using TCP, data and ACK packets are transmitted in opposite directions on the same radio channel.
