Abstract

TCP with AIMD mechanism, one of the most popular protocols in internet, can solve congestion control in wired networks. This protocol, however, is not efficient in wireless networks. This paper proposes a new mechanism namely General AIMD with Congestion Window Upper Bound in which congestion window is limited by an upper bound. By applying optimization theory, we find an optimal policy for congestion window upper bound to maximize network throughput.
