Nowadays, most widely used transport protocol, TCP is tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. TCP performs reliable end-to-end packet transmission under the assumption of low packet error rate. However, networks with wireless links suffer from significant losses due to high error rate and handoffs. TCP responds to all losses by invoking congestion control and avoidance algorithms, resulting in inefficient use of network bandwidth and degraded end-to-end performance in that system. To solve this problem, several methods have been proposed. In this paper, we analyse and compare these methods and propose appropriate model for improving TCP performance in the network with wireless links. This model uses TCP selective acknowledgement (SACK) option between TCP ends, and also uses caching method at the base station. Our simulation results show that using TCP SACK option with base station caching significantly reduces unnecessary duplicate retransmissions and recover packet losses effectively.

In wireless sensor networks, energy is the most important consideration because the lifetime of the sensor node is limited by battery. Most of the existing energy efficient routing protocols use the minimum energy path to minimize energy consumption, which causes an unbalanced distribution of residual energy among nodes. As a result, the power of nodes on energy efficient paths is quickly depletes resulting in inactive. To solve these problems, a method to equalize the energy consumption of the nodes has been proposed, but do not consider the link error rate in the wireless environment. In this paper, we propose a uniform energy consumption of cluster-based multi-hop routing mechanism considering the residual energy and the link error rate. This mechanism reduces energy consumption caused by unnecessary retransmissions and distributes traffic evenly over the network because considering the link error rate. The simulation results compared to other mechanisms, the proposed mechanism is energy-efficient by reducing the number of retransmissions and activation time of all nodes involved in the network has been extended by using the energy balanced path.

Geocasting is a form of communication that transmits messages to all nodes within a given geographical region(i.e., the geocasting region). Most of conventional onery aware protocols were based on shortest-hop routing that is, they minimized the cost in terms of the distance and total transmission energy not considering both the residual energy at each node and the link error ratio when selecting the routes for communication. In this paper we propose a MLRG(Maximum Lifetime Reliable Geocast) protocol for energy-efficient and reliable geocasting in Ad-hoc networks. The proposed MLRG, a position-based and routing-based geocasting algorithm, maximizes the network lifetime using newly defined cost function and selecting the energy balanced routes on the basis of each node's residual energy, and provides a reliable communication considering the link error ratio.

In this paper, we have presented a real-time transfer mechanism for the delay-sensitive data in WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks). The existing methods for real-time data transfer select a path whose latency is shortest or the number of hops is least. Although the approaches of these methods are acceptable, they do not always work as efficiently as they can because they had no consideration for the link error rates. In the case of transmission failures on links, they can not guarantee the end-to-end real-time transfer due to retransmissions. Therefore, we have proposed an algorithm to select a real-time transfer path in consideration of the link error rates. Our mechanism estimates the 1-hop delay based on the link error rate between two neighboring nodes, which in turn enables the calculation of the expected end-to-end delay. A source node comes to choose a path with the shortest end-to-end delay as a real-time route, and sends data along the path chosen. We performed various experiments changing the link error rates and discovered that this proposed mechanism improves the speed of event-to-sink data transfer and reduces delay jitter. We also found that this mechanism prevents additional energy consumption and prolongs network lifetime, resulting from the elative reduction of transmission failures and retransmissions.

유무선 복합환경에서 비디오 데이터의 전송은 무선 링크에서의 적은 대역폭과 높은 손실율에 의해 좋은 화질로 서비스 받기 힘들다. 특히 MPEG 등의 비디오 압축 표준은 많은 대역폭을 차지하며 패킷의 손실은 비디오의 다음 프레임의 화질에까지 영향을 미친다. 따라서 무선 환경에서 사용 가능한 대역폭과 에러율을 고려하여 가능한 최선의 화질을 제공하기 위해서 계층화된 비디오 데이터 스트림 포맷을 제안하고, 이를 이동 호스트에 전송하는 게이트웨이에서 무선 링크의 상황에 따라 전송률을 조정하는 알고리즘을 제안하고 실험하였다. 실험 환경으로 비디오 서버에서 게이트웨이 간의 유선 환경은 10Mbps 이더넷 링크, 게이트웨이에서 무선이동 호스트간의 무선 환경은 2Mbps WaveLAN을 사용하였다. 비디오 응용은 MPEG-1 비디오를 가정하였고 동적으로 FEC를 적용하는 방법을 무선링크의 에러와 전송률 조절에 사용한다.

In this paper, We report on the performance issues faced by TCP based applications on satellite link having long propagation delay and high probability of bit erros and propose ENA(Error Notification Ack) algorithm for TCP Performance Enhancement. TCP Protocol cannot distinguish errored segments(in noisy medium) from losses of genuine network congestion and react as if there is network congestion. Therefore, Slow Start and Congestion avoidance mechanism are initiated. It happen this case in satellite link. Therefore it reduce the transmission rate and drop the performance. So, in this paper We propose ENA algorithm which is distinguished errored segments from losses of network congestion. And We propose the method of algorithm's implementation. And We evaluate the Performance of Tahoe, Reno, Sack TCP with ENA. As results, TCP Performance is better.

멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하는 미래의 이동통신 시스템에서는 데이터의 신뢰성 있는 전송을 위해 데이터링크 계층에서 제공하는 프레임 에러율(FER: Frame Error Rates)을 감소시켜야 한다. 이를 위해 라디오링크 프로토콜(RLP: radio link protocol) 계층에서는 ARQ(Automatic Repeat request) 기법을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 기지국에서 이동 호스트로 전송되는 국부적인 재전송 프레임(Frame)의 순서가 연속된 에러로 인하여 순서가 뒤바뀌고, 이로 인하여 기지국 데이터 링크계층에서 잦은 재전송으로 발생되는 높은 상호지연을 줄이기 위해 개선된 비순서적 재전송 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 재전송방법 중 선택적 거절(selective-reject) ARQ의 비순서적 재전송에 수정한 빠른 재전승 기법을 적용하였으며, 기지국과 이동호스트 사이에서 데이터그램(Datagram)의 단편화(fragment)로 인한 링크계층의 Re-Sequencing을 하지 않기 때문에, 종단간 지연된 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 무선 ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) 접속망에서 무선링크를 통한 랜덤 ATM 데이터의 전송시 ATM 셀손실율을 정량적으로 분석하였으며 유선 ATM환경보다 무선 ATMghksurd에서 셀손실율이 더 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 무선 ATM접속망에서 ATM기술을 무선링크에 적용하는 경우에 Rayleigh 및 Rician 페이딩 채널특성, 전력제한, 단일 및 버스트 에러로 인해 유선링크에서 보다 상당한 전송성능 열화가 발생하는 것은 필연적이며 이를 보상하기 위한 방안들이 강구되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 무선채널의 전송성능 열화현상을 극복하기 위한 에러제어구조를 제시한 후 랜덤 트래픽에 적합한 FEC (Forward Error Correcting) 기법들의 적용방안을 검토한 후, 셀 손실율측면에서 성능을 비교분석하였다.

In this paper we describe our investigation en ATM CLR(Cell Loss Rate) in the wireless ATM Networks, which consist of wireless access nodes and wireless links. A wireless access node is modelled as the ND/D/1queue. A wireless channel is modelled as channel with single and burst error characteristics, and it can be seen that the CLR degrades on a link with burst errors than on a link with single error. Because wireless channel can be approximated as the Rayleigh or Rician fading channel and wireless communication systems are power limited, it is customary that the CLR degrades on a link with burst errors than on a link with single error. So error control method should be used to improve performance degradation caused by burst errors. We consider the forward error correction(FEC) as error control scheme for CBR traffics to improve performance degradation caused by burst errors, and analyze performance of concatenated FEC scheme through the use of CLR.
