A sequence number checking technique is proposed to improve the performance of TCP connections in mobile ad hoc networks. While a TCP connection is initialized, a routing protocol takes the responsibility for checking the hop count between a source and destination pair. If the hop count is greater than a predefined value, the routing protocol decides to use a proxy node. The responsibility of a proxy node is to check the correctness of data packets and inform the missing packets by sending an acknowledgement from a proxy node to the source node. By doing so, the source node is able to retransmit any missing packet in advance without waiting until an end-to-end acknowledgement is received from the destination. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism is able to increase throughput up to 55% in static network and decrease routing overhead up to 95%in mobile network.

In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), SU (secondary user)'s transmissions are frequently disrupted by PU (primary user)'s transmission. Therefore SU expereiences consecutive retransmission timeout and its exponential backoff, and subsequently, the TCP of SU does not proceed with the transmission even after the disruption is over or the SU succeeds to hold an idle channel. In order to solve this problem, we propose a cross-layer approach called TCP-Freeze-CR. Moreover we consider a practical scenario where either secondary transmitter (ST) or secondary receiver (SR) detects PU's transmission, which results in the need of spectrum synchronization mechanism. All of our proposals are implemented and verified with a real CRN testbed consisting of 6 software radios called USRP. The experimental results illustrate that standard TCP suffers from significant performance degradation and show that TCP-Freeze-CR greatly mitigates the degradation.

In mobile ad hoc networks, packet loss is unavoidable due to MAC contention, link failure or the inherent characteristics of wireless link. Since TCP relies on the timely reception of TCP ACK packets to progress the transmission of the TCP DATA packets, ACK loss obviously affects the performance due to two main problems: (a) Frequent occurrence of spurious retransmissions caused by timeout events and (b) impairment of the fast retransmit mechanism caused by the lack of a sufficient number of duplicate ACK packets. In particular, since most reactive routing protocols force the packets buffered over a path to be discarded while performing a route recovery, the performance degradation becomes more serious due to such ACK loss. In this paper, therefore, TCP with two piggybacking schemes (called TCP-pgy) is proposed in order to resolve the above-mentioned problems over reactive routing protocols. Through extensive simulations using the ns-2 simulator, we prove that our proposed schemes contribute to TCP performance improvements.

최근 종단 호스트에서 나타나는 데이터 전송의 병목현상이 두드러지면서 종단 호스트에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 기존의 연구를 통해 종단 호스트의 병목현상의 원인으로 TCP의 비효율적인 버퍼관리가 제기되었다. 특히 임베디드 환경에서는 시스템 자원이 제한적일 수밖에 없기 때문에 TCP의 버퍼관리의 효율성이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 TCP 버퍼할당 기법인 RTBA(Rate-Based TCP Buffer Allocation) 기법을 제안하였다. RTBA는 플로우의 RTT(Round Trip Time), RTO(Retransmit Time Out), 패킷 손실율 둥을 고려한 TCP의 기대전송율을 기반으로 버퍼를 동적으로 할당함으로써 상대적으로 적은 버퍼를 사용하는 임베디드 환경에서도 다수의 TCP 플로우들이 높은 전송성능을 얻게 한다. 실험을 통해 제안한 RTBA 기법이 기존의 고정적인 버퍼할당 기법에 비해 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

고도의 기술을 이용한 최근의 사이버 공격을 방어하기 위해서는 자신의 도메인만을 보호하는 현재의 수동적인 네트워크 보안 서비스보다는 액티브 네트워크 기반 하에 침입자의 위치를 역추적하고 침입자의 근원지에서 네트워크로의 접근을 차단하는 능동적인 대응이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 TCP 기반의 우회 공격인 TCP 확장 연결 공격을 역추적하고 침입자를 네트워크로부터 고립시키는 메커니즘에 대해 기술한다.

TCP Westwood[1]는 송신측에 수신된 ACK를 통해서 대역폭을 계산하여 데이터를 전송하는 기법이다. 위성망 같이 손실률이 매우 높은 환경을 위해 TCP Westwood에서는 기존의 Bu]k Retransmission[2] 기법을 보안 하였다. 하지만 Bulk 재 전송 기법은 불필요한 데이터도 함께 재전송하기 때문에 성능이 저하되게 된다. 이 논문에서는 재 전송 패킷의 수를 적절히 조절하는 Adaptive Bulk Retransmission 기법을 제안하고자 한다.

본 논문은 무선환경에서 TCP를 이용한 데이터 전송시 전력 소비를 감소시킬 수 있는 저전력 전송 기법을 제안한다. TCP 프로토플은 재전송, 그리고 혼잡제어 등의 기능을 통해 효율적이고 신뢰성있는 통신을 지원한다. 이러한 특성은 망상태가 악화될 경우 이동기기에서 과다한 재전송 및 혼잡제어를 일으켜 이동기기의 전력소비를 증가시키는 주요한 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 재전송 제어를 통해 이를 해결하고 제시된 기법이 기존의 프로토콜보다 전력 소비면에서 효율적임을 시뮬레이션을 통해 밝힌다.

The SSWM(Software Switching Mechanism) of I-processor concept using non-real time in-house software simulation program is an effective method in order to develop the flight control law in desktop or HQS environment. And, this system has some advantages compare to HSWM(Hardware Switching Mechanism) such as remove the time delay effectiveness and reduce the costs of development. But, if this system loading to the OFP(Operational Flight Program), the OFP guarantee the enough throughput in order to calculate the two control law at once. Therefore, the HSWM(Hardware Switching Mechanism) of 2-processor concept is necessary. This paper addresses the concept of HSWM of the HQS-PC interface using TCP/IP(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) communication based on flight control law of advanced supersonic trainer. And, the fader logic of TFS(Transient Free Switch) and stand-by mode of reset '0' type are designed in order to reduce the abrupt transient response and minimize the integrator effect in pitch axis. The result of the analysis based on HQS pilot simulation using HSWM reveals that the flight control systems are switching between two computers without any problem.

Even though Internet backbone speeds have increased in the last few years due to projects like Internet 2 and NGI, many high performance distributed applications are able to achieve only a small fraction of the available bandwidth. The cause of such problem is due to a character of TCP/IP. The primary goal of this protocol is reliable data transmission. Therefore high speed data transmission didn't be considered when TCP/IP is designed. Hence several researchers have been studied in order to solve the problem of TCP/IP. One of these research results, parallel transfer technique, solves this problem to use parallel TCP connections on application level. Additionally, this technique is compatibility. Recently, these researchers have been studied a mechanism to decide the number of parallel TCP connections. However, some researchers reported the number of parallel TCP connection base on only empirical results. Although hardware performance of host affects transmission rate, the hardware performance didn't be considered in their works. Hence, we collect all data related to transmission rate, such as hardware state information (cpu utilization, interrupt, context switch). Then, we analyzed collected data. And, we suggest a new mechanism determining number of parallel TCP connections for maximization of performance based on our analysis.

Transmission mechanisms that include an available bandwidth estimation algorithm and a packet loss differentiation scheme, in general, exhibit higher TCP performance in wireless networks. TCP New Jersey, known as the best existing scheme in terms of goodput, improves wireless TCP performance using the available bandwidth estimation at the sender and the congestion warning at intermediate routers. Although TCP New Jersey achieves 17% and 85% improvements in goodput over TCP Westwood and TCP Reno, respectively, we further improve TCP New Jersey by exploring improved available bandwidth estimation, retransmission timeout, and recovery mechanisms. Hence, we propose TCP New Jersey PLUS (shortly TCP NJ+), showing that under 1% packet loss rate, it outperforms 3% by TCP New Jersey and 5% by TCP Wes1wood. In 5% packet loss rate, a characteristic of high bit-error-rate wireless network, it outperforms other TCP variants by 19% to 104% in terms of goodput even when the network is in bi-directional congestion.
