Even though a lot of researches to improve the performance of TCP over wireless networks have been performed, the performance of TCP cannot satisfy users under high packet loss rate of wireless networks. This paper addresses the problem of TCP Westwood under high packet loss rate and reveals the reasons through the extensive simulation analysis. The ABE(Available Bandwidth Estimation) of TCP westwood becomes incorrect due to TCP dynamics of loss recovery. Based on this observation, we propose two algorithms for enhancing the correctness of ABE. We have evaluated the effects of the proposed algorithms through simulation. The proposed algorithms have achieved more correct ABE under the packet loss rate less than 1%.

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.

Mobile portable devices for wireless network solely depend on a limited battery power. Therefore, we need to design for wireless communication protocols with an energy efficiency. TCP-Westwood is one of the most important approaches on TCP performance improvement in wireless environments that estimates the available bandwidth by using the sampling mechanism. The advantage is that data can be transmitted efficiently using the estimation of available bandwidth. However, when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment, it does not consider of the sampling mechanism operation. In this thesis, a new energy saving transport protocol, called E2TP(Energy Efficient Transport Protocol), is proposed to solve problems which occur when the sender with TCP-Westwood is in a wireless environment. Also, when there are packet loss while doing frequent link error in a wireless environment, E2TP provides the instantaneous segment size adjustment for a more efficient data retransmission. The simulation result proves that the proposed E2TP has better performance in energy efficiency and throughput than both TCP and TCP-Westwood.

The traditional TCP was designed assuming wired networks. Thus, if it is used networks consisting of both wired and wireless networks, all packet losses including random losses in wireless links are regarded as network congestion losses. Misclassification of packet losses causes unnecessary reduction of transmission rate, and results in waste of bandwidth. In this paper, we present WTCP(wireless TCP) congestion control algorithm that differentiates the random losses more accurately, and adopts improved congestion control which results in better network throughput. To evaluate the performance of proposed scheme, we compared the proposed algorithm with TCP Westwood and TCP Veno via simulations.

무선망에서의 TCP 성능은 않은 연구가 되어 왔지만 손실율이 큰 경우의 TCP의 성능은 아직도 개선의 여지가 많다. 본 논문은 두 가지 점에서 새로운 TCP를 제안한다. 첫째, 혼잡제어(Congestion Control)와 손실제어(Loss Recovery)가 분리(Decoupled)되었다. 기존의 연구들은 무선손실과 혼잡손실을 구분하여야 한다는 점에는 많은 연구를 해왔지만 무선 손실에 대하여 어떻게 대처할 것 인가에 관한 문제는 상대적으로 간과하였다. 둘째, 기종의 TCP-Westwood와 TCP-Jersey에서 사용되는 ABE(Available Bandwidth Estimation)가 무선네트워크에 의해 발생하는 패킷 손실로 인해 부정확해지는 것을 지적하고 새로운 ABE방법을 제시한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 우수한 성능을 보여주었다.

최근 인터넷 틴 초고속 정보통신이 급속히 확산이 되면서 장소와 시간의 구애를 받지 않고, 인터넷에 접속할 수 있는 무선 LAN 사용이 점차 확대되었다. 무선 LAN을 이용한 무선 인터넷은 유선 인터넷에 비해 낮은 대역폭을 갖는다. 그리고 이동성과 휴대성을 고려한 배터리 기반의 동력을 사용함으로 에너지 효율적인 접근 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 TCP-Westwood를 수정하며 전송률 및 에너지 효율을 향상 시키기 위해 세그먼트 크기 조절 방법을 제안하였으며, 이를 NS-2 시뮬레이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 전송률 향상 및 에너지 효율이 개선됨을 확인하였다.
