Abstract

There have been company researches for TCP-Westwood algorithms in wireless TCP environment with high packet loss rate. Because the TCP-Westwood algorithm adjusts the congestion window according to the ABE(Available Bandwidth Estimation), the algorithm has a problem which the accuracy of ABE decreases as the error rate increases. To solve such a problem, the proposed scheme in this paper adopts the existing packet pattern based algorithm that the ABE is ignored when the arriving interval time of ACK is longer than a given interval time and uses new algorithm that the ABE is reallocated to a given allowable ABE when the ABE is over the allowable range. The proposed scheme shows the simulation result that the ABE is closest to the setting bandwidth for simulation compared to the existing algorithms.

높은 오류율을 가지는 무선 TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) 환경을 위한 TCP-Westwood 방법에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되었다. 이러한 TCP-Westwood 방법은 가용대역폭측정(Available Bandwidth Estimation)에 의해서 혼잡윈도우를 조절하는 방법이기 때문에 오류율이 높아질수록 이 가용대역폭측정값의 정확도가 떨어지는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 ACK의 도착간격이 주어진 시간 간격을 벗어나는 경우에 ABE값을 무시하는 기존의 패킷 패턴 기반 가용대역폭필터링 방법과 가용대역폭측정값이 허용 가능한 범위를 벗어나는 경우에 주어진 허용 가능한 가용대역폭측정값으로 할당하는 새로운 방법을 모두 사용하였다. 제안한 방법의 실험결과는 기존의 다른 알고리즘들보다 가용대역폭측정값이 설정한 시뮬레이션 대역폭에 가장 유사함을 확인하였다.
