Abstract

This paper suggests an improved TCP congestion algorithm, which is more robust to lossy wireless environment than other algorithms such as TCP-Reno. The suggested algorithm decides on the size of a congestion window depending on both PER (Packet Error Rate) and its state, which is one of fast recovery state and slow start state. Some simulations are given to validate the suggested algorithm and the algorithm is compared with other TCP congestion algorithm from the point of view of performance measures such as a congestion window and throughput. The suggested algorithm has better throughput than other algorithm over wireless links with high PER and similar throughput to others over wireless links with low BER.

본 논문은 TCP-Reno등의 TCP 등에서 사용되는 다른 혼잡 제어 알고리즘보다 에러가 많은 무선 환경에 더욱 강인한 향상된 TCP 혼잡 제어 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 혼잡 윈도우 크기를 패킷 에러율과 현 TCP의 상태가 fast recovery 혹은 slow start 상태에 있느냐에 따라 결정한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 알고리즘의 유효성을 보여 주며, 여러 TCP 혼잡 제어 알고리즘들과 혼잡 윈도우 크기와 효율과 같은 성능 지표 관점에서 비교하였다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 다른 알고리즘보다 높은 PER하에서는 높은 효율을 가지며, 낮은 PER하에서는 비슷한 효율을 가진다.
