Snoop 프로토콜은 유 무선 혼합망에서 무선 링크에서 발생하는 TCP 패킷 손실을 효과적으로 보상하여 TCP 전송률을 향상시킬 수 있는 효율적인 프로토콜이다. 하지만, 무선 링크에서 연집한 패킷 손실이 발생하는 경우에는 지역 재전송을 효과적으로 수행하지 못하여 전송 효율이 떨어진다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Snoop 프로토콜의 이러한 문제점을 개선하기위해 MAC 계층의 재전송 메커니즘인 Stop &Wait ARQ 기법을 기반으로 하는 $A^2Snoop$ (ARQ Assistance Snoop) 프로토콜을 제안한다. $A^2Snoop$ 프로토콜은 현재 유 무선 혼합망에서 가장 널리 사용되는 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜 기반의 지역 재전송 메커니즘으로서, MAC 계층의 ARQ 기법과 TCP의 혼잡제어 메커니즘의 연동을 통해 효율적인 재전송을 수행한다. ns-2 시뮬레이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 $A^2Snoop$의 지역 재전송 기법은 무선 구간의 연집적인 패킷 손실에 대해 효율적인 보상을 수행하며, 전송률을 유지하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a dynamic TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) is proposed to adjust the coding rates according to the channel characteristics of the wireless-to-wired network consisting of wireless first-hop channel. To avoid the throughput degradation of multimedia flows traveling through wireless lint the proposed rate control system employs a new wireless loss differentiation algorithm (LDA) using packet loss statistics. This method can produce the TCP-friendly rates while sharing the backbone bandwidth with TCP flows over the wireless-to-wired network. Experimental results show that the proposed rate control system can eliminate the effect of wireless losses in flow control of TFRC and substantially reduce the abrupt quality degradation of the video streaming caused by the unreliable wireless link status.

The TCP protocol can provide some reliability using sliding window mechanism for data transmission, flow control, and congestion control. However, TCP has some limitations in that it has basically been designed solely for wired communication environments. If traditional TCP protocol is used also in wireless networks, the end-to-end data transmission performance degrades dramatically due to frequent packet losses caused by transmission errors and hand-offs. While there have been some research efforts on TCP enhancements considering the mobility of wireless communication devices, in this paper we propose a new method to improve the TCP performance by combining the Snoop and the Freeze-TCP methods. In the proposed scheme, the TCP end-to-end semantics is maintained and no changes of existing protocols in sending systems or in routers are required. It has the advantage of simple implementation because TCP code changes are limited to mobile devices for applying the Freeze-TCP and it requires only to add Snoop modules in base stations. Accordingly, the proposed scheme can operate well in the existing networks. Finally, in this study, we compared the performance of the proposed scheme with traditional TCP, other approaches through simulations using ns-2.

Wireless communication environment is changing rapidly as we use new wireless communication technology such as WiBro to access high speed Internet. As a result, reliable data transmission using TCP is also expected to increase. Since TCP assumes that it is used in wired network, TCP suffers significant performance degradation over wireless network where packet losses are related to non-congestion loss. Especially RTO imposes a great performance degradation of TCP. In this paper, we analyze the loss recovery probabilities based on previous researches, and use simulation results of our algorithm to show that it prevents performance degradation by quickly detecting and recovery losses without RTO during fast recovery.

무선네트워크 TCP는 패킷손실을 혼잡에 의한 것으로 보고 전송률을 감소시키는데, 고대역폭 연결의 효율성을 높이기 위해 M-TCP에서의 링크이용율에 따른 트래픽 처리를 연구한다. M-TCP는 무선네트워크에서 연결 중단이 자주 발생하고 동적으로 변하는 대역폭으로 인한 비트율이 낮은 무선 링크에 효과적인 프로토콜이다. 연견 중단 시 송신노드가 인접한 경우나 멀리 떨어져 있는 경우 유리하며, M-TCP가 링크 계층 솔루션과 함께 사용될 경우 TCP 성능이 향상된다. 본 논문에서는 백그라운드 트래픽 흐름은 그대로 유지하여 M-TCP상에서 연결의 개수를 늘린 후 그 결과 발생하는 대역폭 공유 반응 및 링크 이용율로 M-TCP 연결로부터 생긴 트래픽 처리를 분석한다.

As today's networks evolve towards an If-based integrated network, the role of transmission control protocol(TCP) has been increasing as well. As a well-known issue, the performance of TCP is affected by its loss recovery mechanism that is comprised of two algorithms; fast retransmit and fast recovery. Although retransmission timeout(RTO) caused by multiple packet losses can be avoided by using selective acknowledgement(SACK) option, RTO cannot be avoided if a retransmitted packet is lost. Therefore, we propose a simple modification to make it possible for a TCP sender using SACK option to detect a lost retransmission. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, simulations have been performed for two scenarios where packet losses are random and correlated. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve TCP performance significantly.

In this paper, in order to improve the performance of TCP short traffic application services in wireless Internet environments, the Split-ACKs (SPACK) scheme is proposed. In wireless networks, unlike wired networks, packet losses will occur more often due to high bit error rates. Therefore, each packet loss over wireless lints results in congestion control procedure of TCP being invoked at the source. This causes severe end-to-end Performance degradation of TCP. In this paper, to alleviate the TCP Performance, the SPACK method, split acknowledgement Packets in the base station, is proposed. Using computer simulation, the performance of TCP using SPACK is analysed and shows better performance than traditional TCP Protocol.

In wireless networks, the packet loss due to the bit error is misinterpreted as loss due to the congestion state, so TCP congestion control occurs frequently and performance degradation occurs. This degradation also occurs in MPTCP(Multipath TCP), which is an extension protocol of original TCP. In MPTCP, the overall performance of the multipath is degraded. In this paper, we propose a congestion control scheme which measures the bandwidth on each path of MPTCP and reduces the congestion window size by the measured bandwidth when packet loss occurs, in order to solve the MPTCP performance degradation in the wireless environment. We also implemented the proposed congestion control in the Linux kernel and compared it with the original MPTCP in the testbed and real wireless networks. Experimental results show that the proposed congestion control has better throughput performance than original MPTCP congestion control in the wireless environment.

The heterogeneous wireless access networks has been envisioned to characterize the future wireless networks. In such environments, TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) has to experience poor end-to-end performance because bandwidth and link delay change suddenly when a mobile node moves over different types of wireless networks, which is called vertical handoff. In this paper, we propose a new TCP which maintains each set of congestion control variables, which we call TCP context, for each type of wireless network. The proposed TCP can switch the TCP context against vertical handoff in order to adjust quickly to a newly arrived network. In simulations, the proposed TCP has higher throughput than TCP SACK(Selective Acknowledgment Options) due to its great features to vertical handoff situations.
