The amount of packets on-the-fly in a wireless ad-hoc network increases when the size of congestion window and the number of hop count increase. It is possible that packets may have to retransmit because large amount of on-the-fly packets may increase the media contention. Besides, packet delay can grow rapidly when the wireless network becomes congested or the channel interference remains unresolved. This thesis presents a cross-layer TCP congestion window control mechanism for multihop ad-hoc networks to dynamically adjust the size of congestion window according to the MAC-layer contention statistics measured at each hop along the routing path. With the proposed scheme, the congestion window of each traffic flow can be dynamically set to an appropriate size to reduce packet delay and increase flow throughput. For the purpose of evaluation, we perform simulations on NS-2. The simulation results have shown the advantage of our proposed scheme over the two previous works, NewReno and CWL(Congestion Window Limit), especially when the ad-hoc network is loaded with background traffic.
