A TCP Performance Improvement Scheme with RTS/CTS Signaling In Multihop ad hoc networks

Lin, Min-Chiung 01 August 2005 (has links)
Ad hoc network is a new tendency of data transmission in the future. Because of the convenience and necessity of mobile phone and/or portable computer coupled with wireless data services, TCP/IP has become an important topic for the study in wireless networks. However, there were a few difficulties in data transmission that must be overcome due to ad hoc environments and the characteristics of the IEEE 802.11 protocols. In these protocols, MAC layer is our primary research topic. Based on the RTS/CTS signal of dynamic retransmission [4], this study presented an improvement to solve the problems: (1) media resources was easily robbed due to the RTS/CTS signal competition, (2) data frame would be dropped by the IEEE 802.11 protocol due to too many times collisions. In addition, this study modifies the CWND in TCP layer in accordance with congestion conditions. Sender can transmit data packets to the network, in which resources can be completely utilized without any waste or loss. We also use the related parameters from the IP and TCP header to calculate flow numbers. The calculated parameters are recorded in IP and TCP header, and then instantly forwarded to the receiver via routers. The receiver can forward these parameters back to the sender by using back transmission method. The simulation result shows that the proposed methods can effectively improve TCP performance, such as packet loss rate, and fastly increase the CWND, the buffer utilization, and so forth. Thus, the network can perform more effectively while using the MAC-layer RTS/CTS signal.
