Abstract

Most of network congestions are caused by TCP packet losses in the wired network ecosystems. On the contrary, high BER (Bit Error Rate), which is characteristic of the wireless networks, is a main factor in wireless network environments. Many wireless networks carry out the congestion control mechanisms frequently because they estimate that packet losses are not due to the wireless signal qualities but the congestion controls in their networks. To solve this problem, we propose the improved EWLN (Explicit Wireless Loss Notification) algorithm that more efficiently utilize the congestion window size to increase the wireless network throughput than legacy EWLN algorithm.

유선네트워크 환경에서의 Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) 패킷 손실은 대부분 네트워크의 혼잡에 의해서 발생한다. 하지만, 무선네트워크 환경에서는 무선 네트워크의 특징 중 하나인 높은 Bit Error Rate (BER)에 의한 손실이 대부분 일어난다. 네트워크는 무선 신호 품질에 의한 패킷 손실을 혼잡제어에 의한 손실로 판단하여, 혼잡제어 메커니즘이 빈번하게 수행된다. 무선 환경의 패킷 손실율을 이용하여 Explicit Wireless Loss Notification (EWLN) 알고리즘에서 발생될 수 있는 비효율적인 Congestion Window의 크기를 보다 효율적으로 재조정함으로써, 기존의 EWLN 알고리즘을 개선하는 알고리즘을 제안한다.
