Abstract
We design and implement a RTT (Round Trip Time) based TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) for USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network). We adopt a basic update algorithm for window size from FAST TCP that uses the queuing delay at link as the congestion measure. The designed TCP estimates the queuing delay at link from the measured RTT in the network layer, and updates the window size based on the estimated queuing delay. The designed TCP allows to utilize the full capacity of USN links and avoids the waste of the given link capacity that is common without the flow control in the transport layer. The experiment results show that the window size of the sender converges within a small range of variations without any packet loss, and verify the stability and performance of the designed TCP.
