This paper deals with the problem of unfairness among uplink TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) flows associated with frame aggregation employed in IEEE 802.11n WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks). When multiple stations have uplink TCP flows and transmit TCP data packets to an AP (Access Point), the AP has to compete for channel access with stations for the transmission of TCP ACK (acknowledgement) packets to the stations. Due to this contention-based channel access, TCP ACKs tend to be accumulated in the AP's downlink buffer. We show that the frame aggregation in the MAC (Medium Access Control) layer increases TCP ACK losses in the AP and leads to the serious unfair operation of TCP congestion control. To resolve this problem, we propose the TAC (TCP ACK Compression) mechanism operating at the top of the AP's interface queue. By exploiting the properties of cumulative TCP ACK and frame aggregation, TAC serves only the representative TCP ACK without serving redundant TCP ACKs. Therefore, TAC reduces queue occupancy and prevents ACK losses due to buffer overflow, which significantly contributes to fairness among uplink TCP flows. Also, TAC enhances the channel efficiency by not transmitting unnecessary TCP ACKs. The simulation results show that TAC tightly assures fairness under various network conditions while increasing the aggregate throughput, compared to the existing schemes.

본 논문은 유무선 환경에서 TCP를 이용한 데이터 전송 시 에이젼트를 이용하여 패킷 손실의 원인을 분석, 무선 링크에서 발생한 패킷 손실에 대해서는 혼잡 윈도우 크기를 유지하고, 유선 링크에서 발생한 패킷 손실에 대해서는 지역 재전송을 수행하는 저 전력 전송기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 저 전력 전송기법은 전송 후 WNIC를 저 전력 모드로 전환시킴으로써 WNIC 전력소비를 최소화한다. NS2 시뮬레이션 결과 기존 TCP 보다 무선 링크에서 에러 발생시 67~177(%) 성능향상과 22~44(%) 에너지 감소효과를 보였고, 유선 링크에서 에러 발생시 3~22(%)의 성능 향상과 2~13(%) 에너지 감소 효과를 나타냈다.

With information communications and network environments merged wire/wireless networks are generalized. In this viewpoint, WAP is used by communication protocol for the data communication in the field of wireless environment. WTLS developed for the secure communications optimize TLS adapted wireless environment in the TCP/IP internet protocol. But WTLS denote WAP security problem, end-to-end problem, and power consumption, etc. Therefore in this paper we proposed WTLS cryptographic algorithm eliminated WTLS disadvantages. Proposed algorithm solved power consumption, calculated complexity, and security problems because it is not unique but hybrid form.

To increase wireless capacity, the concurrent use of multiple wireless interfaces on different frequency bands, called aggregation, can be considered. In this paper, we focus on aggregation of multiple Wi-Fi interfaces with packet-level traffic spreading between the interfaces. Two aggregation schemes, link bonding and multipath TCP (MPTCP), are tested and compared in a dualband Wi-Fi radio system with their Linux implementation. Various test conditions such as traffic types, network delay, locations, interface failures and configuration parameters are considered. Experimental results show that aggregation increases throughput performance significantly over the use of a single interface. Link bonding achieves lower throughput than MPTCP due to duplicate TCP acknowledgements (ACKs) resulting from packet reordering and filtering such duplicate ACKs out is considered as a possible solution. However, link bonding is fast responsive to links' status changes such as a link failure. It is shown that different combinations of interface weights for packet spread in link bonding result in different throughput performance, envisioning a spatio-temporal adaptation of the weights. We also develop a mathematical model of power consumption and compare the power efficiency of the schemes applying different power consumption profiles.

MAC frame aggregation is a method that combines multiple MPDUs (MAC protocol data units) into one PPDU (PHY protocol data units) to enhance network performance at the MAC layer. In ad hoc networks, TCP underperforms due to the congestion window overshooting problem and thus by setting CWL (congestion window limit) TCP performance can be improved. In this paper, we investigate the problem of setting CWL for TCP performance optimization in ad hoc networks with MAC frame aggregation.

The performance of TCP depends on the degree of traffic congestion between the sender and the receiver. The traffic could increase, and this causes congestion which may cause trouble in data transfer. Then, TCP tries to eliminate the trouble by reducing the transfer speed with slowstart scheme. When a mobile node moves over heterogeneous wireless networks, TCP experiences dramatic change of the amount of traffic, and it performs slowstart. In this paper, we propose the efficient scheme of TCP slowstart that should performs after vertical handoff. In this scheme, TCP receiver forces slowstart, which is different form normal schemes. Its performance is better than the normal schemes in that TCP sender experiences traffic congestion and performs slowstart. We perform simulation to measure and to verify the improved performance.

In the CDMA wireless link, frame errors are correlated and burst because of fading. The implementation ability of RLP error recovery is dependent on the correlated frame errors. The (1,2,3) retransmission scheme, which is recommended as default in IS-707, is not adapted in high frame loss regime with strong correlations. By using the modified error recovery method, where the total number of retransmission attempts is the same and the retransmission is increased, the proposed retransmission scheme can efficiently recover frame errors than the (1,2,3) retransmission scheme. Since the modified scheme has longer transmission delay due to the increase of retransmission round, we propose the algorithm of retransmission failure prediction to improve the modified error recovery scheme. We simulate the modified error recovery scheme applying our algorithm and compare two schemes. (i.e. default scheme by IS-707 and modified scheme) not applying our algorithm. In the result, we show TCP performance improvement is better than default scheme by IS-707.

This paper suggests a TCP/IP-based remote data monitoring system, which combines PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) technologies. Wireless PDA devices are used for remote monitoring of wireless communication by continuously collecting remote device data transmitted from servers such as temperature, humidity and device status, and displaying them on mobile devices. Therefore, remote data monitoring systems that integrate wireless and wired services provide data collection adaptive to administrators and efficient identification of device status.
