In this paper, we propose an modified TCP congestion control algorithm using estimated RTT with congestion window parameter CWnd. Congestion window size is controlled with memorized RTT value on the congestion status. It can avoid occurrence of frequent congestion and reduce CWnd fluctuation. From simulation results, proposed algorithm shows great improvement on network efficiency and buffer utilization compared with original TCP algorithm.

TCP does not distinguish between congestion and packet losses due to route change and link failures, which are prevalent in mobile ad hoc networks. So, TCP does not show satisfactory performance in ad hoc networks since it assumes that all packet losses are due to network congestions. In particular, when a route is reestablished it needs to be adaptively determined CWND according to the new route features. In this paper, we proposed CWND adjustment scheme to improve the TCP performance overad hoc networks. TCP sender effectively adjusts CWND by monitoring the network situation using control packets. Simulation results using NS-2 show that the proposed scheme increases TCP throughput compared with those of general TCP.

Satellite communication is a wide area network (WAN) which provides communication service worldwide. However, the performance of TCP can be seriously degraded in the satellite networks due to limited bandwidth, long round-trip time (RTT) and high bit error rate (BER) over satellite links. In order to improve the performance of TCP, this paper proposes cross-layer Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) in digital video broadcasting-return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS) networks. The proposed protocol sets TCP Congestion Window (CWND) size by using satellite resource allocation information exchanged between TCP and the link-layer. we implement PEP testbed based on Linux to evaluate the performance of the proposed protocol. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol performs better than standard TCP both in single and multiple sessions in variant BER, because the proposed protocol sets TCP CWND size by using satellite resource allocation.

In this paper, we proposed an enhanced TCP congestion control algorithm using RTT with congestion window parameter cwnd to minimize the effect of TCP congestion. The proposed scheme could avoid the occurrence of frequent congestion and decrease the delay caused by the recovery time and the using amount of switch buffer. Through the simulation, we showed that the proposed scheme cm acquire higher performance than the existing scheme. There are 22.56％ improvement at the average using buffer efficiency, and packet drop rate is 0.1％ which is less than existing scheme.

In this paper, we propose PEP based on cross-layer and network coding in digital video broadcasting-return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS) networks. In particular, we propose not only a scheme of cross-layer information exchange for interaction between TCP and the resource allocation (RA) scheme in the link layer but also a tuning algorithm for the TCP contention window (CWND) by using information on the RA in the link layer and the redundancy rate for network-coded packets. The simulation results show that TCP CWND can be adjusted by RA information in the proposed protocol. Furthermore, through the transmission of network-coded packets and the proposed CWND tuning algorithm, TCP throughput is enhanced in lossy environment due to user mobility without the unnecessary resource overhead.

Improving TCP performance has long been the focus of many research efforts in 802.11 wireless networks study. Hop count and Round Trip Time (RTT) are the critical sources which serious affect the TCP performance on end to end connection. In this paper, we analytical derived the affection and based on the analysis we propose TCP should Change its Expected Value (TCP-CEV) when hop count and RTT change by setting a reasonable CWND change rate to improve the performance. The proposed scheme is applicable to a wide range of transport protocols using the basic TCP mechanism, and the protocol behavior is analytically tractable. We show that our simple strategy improves TCP performance at least over 12% in a chain topology, 4.9% in a grid topology and improve the TCP convergence.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) uses the 32-bit checksum in the common header, by which a corrupted SCTP packet will be regarded as a lost packet and then discarded. This may result in degradation of SCTP's throughput performance over wireless networks. This paper proposes a new chunk checksum scheme for SCTP, in which each data chunk contains its own checksum field and SACK chunk carry corresponding Transmission Sequence Number (TSN) with timestamp for every corruption event. The proposed chunk checksum scheme is introduced with the following three purposes: 1) to distinguish the chunk corruptions from the chunk losses; 2) to avoid the unnecessary halving of the congestion window (cwnd) in the case of chunk corruption; 3) to avoid the unwanted timeouts which can be induced in conventional SCTP in the case that the retransmitted data chunks are corrupted again in wireless networks. Simulation results show that the proposed chunk checksum scheme could improve the SCTP throughput in the wireless environments with a high bit error rate.

본 논문에서는 TCP 수신자가 지연 ACK 옵션(Delayed ACK Option)을 사용할 경우에 TCP 송신자에게 발생하는 성능 저하요인들을 분석하고 다음과 같은 해결책을 제시하였다. 먼저, 느린 시작 구간(Slow Start phase) 처음에 생기는 ACK 타임아웃은 큰 초기 윈도우(large initial window)또는 1-bit 마킹 기법을 통해 해결할 수 있다. 그리고, 느린 시작 구간과 혼잡 회피 구간(Congestion Avoidance phase)에서 혼잡 윈도우(cwnd)가 천천히 증가하는 문제는 적절히 바이트 카운팅 기법을 사용함으로써 해결할 수 있다. 마지막으로, 송신자가 버스트(burst)한 데이터를 네트웍에 발생시키는 문제는 트래픽을 평활(pacing)함으로써 해결할 수 있다. 또한 본 연구에서는 분석적 모델링을 통하여 TCP가 보내는 평균 전송률을 구하였으며 이 결과는 TCP에 친화한 전송률 기반 전송방법(TCP Friendly Rate Based Control)에 응용될 수 있을 것이다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제시한 방법의 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

TCP Vegas version provides better performance and more stable services than TCP Tahoe and Reno versions, which are widely used in the current Internet. However, in the situation where TCP Vegas and Reno share the bottleneck link, the performance of TCP Vegas is much smaller than that of TCP Reno. This unfairness is due to the difference of congestion control mechanisms of each TCP use. Several studies have been executed in order to solve this unfairness problem. In this paper, we analyze the minimum window size to maintain the maximum TCP performance of link bandwidth. In addition, we propose an algorithm which maintains the TCP performance and improves fairness by selective packet drops in order to allocate proper window size of each TCP connections. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we have measured the number of data bytes transmitted between end-to-end systems by each TCP connections. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm maintains the maximum TCP performance and improves the fairness.
