We analyzed that the loss of data in TCP protocol based wireless networks caused by overlapped responses in bi-directional nodes that were resulted in out of the data sequence. This loss can be prevented by using revised TCP rate control algorithm and the performance of throughput can also be improved. The rate control algorithm is applied when the congestion happens between nodes while traffic packets are retransmitting in TCP bandwidth. In addition to applying the rate control algorithm, we determine the number of system clients in bandwidth and the average of pausing time between transmitting serial files to produce a competitive level so that an efficient performance of rapid retransmitting for the loss of multi-packets. This paper discusses the improvement of congestion control in that the decrease of the loss, firstly, as ensuring an efficient connection rate and, secondly, as using sliding window flow control.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) uses the 32-bit checksum in the common header, by which a corrupted SCTP packet will be regarded as a lost packet and then discarded. This may result in degradation of SCTP's throughput performance over wireless networks. This paper proposes a new chunk checksum scheme for SCTP, in which each data chunk contains its own checksum field and SACK chunk carry corresponding Transmission Sequence Number (TSN) with timestamp for every corruption event. The proposed chunk checksum scheme is introduced with the following three purposes: 1) to distinguish the chunk corruptions from the chunk losses; 2) to avoid the unnecessary halving of the congestion window (cwnd) in the case of chunk corruption; 3) to avoid the unwanted timeouts which can be induced in conventional SCTP in the case that the retransmitted data chunks are corrupted again in wireless networks. Simulation results show that the proposed chunk checksum scheme could improve the SCTP throughput in the wireless environments with a high bit error rate.

현재 인터넷의 서비스 중 동영상은 많은 대역폭을 차지하고 있으며 실시간적으로 전송되어야 하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 조건을 만족하기 위해서 Layered coding의 특성을 이용한 스케일러블 전송이 MPEG2를 통해 가능하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG2의 스케일러블 전송을 바탕으로 송신측에서의 폭주제어와 함께 실시간 서비스를 제공하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 알고리즘에서는 폭주 제어를 위해 Congestion Window을 사용하며 네트워크 속도를 측정하여 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장한다.

본 논문에서는 TCP 수신자가 지연 ACK 옵션(Delayed ACK Option)을 사용할 경우에 TCP 송신자에게 발생하는 성능 저하요인들을 분석하고 다음과 같은 해결책을 제시하였다. 먼저, 느린 시작 구간(Slow Start phase) 처음에 생기는 ACK 타임아웃은 큰 초기 윈도우(large initial window)또는 1-bit 마킹 기법을 통해 해결할 수 있다. 그리고, 느린 시작 구간과 혼잡 회피 구간(Congestion Avoidance phase)에서 혼잡 윈도우(cwnd)가 천천히 증가하는 문제는 적절히 바이트 카운팅 기법을 사용함으로써 해결할 수 있다. 마지막으로, 송신자가 버스트(burst)한 데이터를 네트웍에 발생시키는 문제는 트래픽을 평활(pacing)함으로써 해결할 수 있다. 또한 본 연구에서는 분석적 모델링을 통하여 TCP가 보내는 평균 전송률을 구하였으며 이 결과는 TCP에 친화한 전송률 기반 전송방법(TCP Friendly Rate Based Control)에 응용될 수 있을 것이다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제시한 방법의 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

In wireless sensor networks, the importance of transporting data correctly with reliability is increasing gradually along with the need to support communications between the nodes and sink. Data flow from the sink to the nodes requires reliability for control or management that is very sensitive and intolerant of error; however, data flow from the nodes to the sink is relatively tolerant. In this paper, with emphasis on the data flow from the sink to the nodes, we propose a mechanism that considers accurate transport with reliability hop-by-hop. During the process of sending the data, if errors occur or data is missing, the proposed mechanism supports error recovery using a fixed window with selective acknowledgment. In addition, this mechanism supports congestion control depending on the buffer condition. Through the simulation, we show that this mechanism is accurate, reliable, and proper for transport in wireless sensor networks.

In this paper, we extend the performance of bidirectional TCP connection over end-to-end network that uses transfer rate-based flow and congestion control. The sharing of a common buffer by TCP packets and acknowledgement has been known to result in an effect called ack compression, where acks of a connection arrive at the source bunched together, resulting in unfairness and degraded throughput. The degradation in throughput due to bidirectional traffic can be significant. Even in the simple case of symmetrical connections with adequate window size, the connection efficiency is improved about 20% for three levels of background traffic 2.5Mbps, 5.0Mbps and 7.5Mbps. Otherwise, the throughput of jitter is reduced about 50% because round trip delay time is smaller between source node and destination node. Also, we show that throughput curve is improved with connection rate algorithm which is proposed for TCP congetion avoidance as a function of aggressiveness threshold for three levels of background traffic 2.5Mbps, 5Mbps and 7.5Mbps. By analyzing the periodic bursty behavior of the source IP queue, we derive estimated for the maximum queue size and arrive at a simple predictor for the degraded throughput, applicable for relatively general situations.

In sensor network, the importance of transporting data with reliability is growing gradually to support communications. Data flow from sink to nodes needs reliability for the control or management, that is very sensitive and intolerable, however relatively, data flow from nodes to sink is tolerable. In this paper, with emphasis of the data flow from sink to nodes, we proposed the mechanism that establishes confidence interval for transport. Establishing confidence interval hop-by-hop, not end to end, if errors happen or there's missing data, this mechanism recovers them with selective acknowledgement using fixed window. In addition, this mechanism supports traffic congestion control depending on the buffer condition. Through the simulation, we showed that this mechanism has an excellent performance for error recovery in sensor network.

Measurements of network traffic have shown that self-similarity is a ubiquitous phenomenon spanning across diverse network environments. We have advance the framework of multiple time scale congestion control and show its effectiveness at enhancing performance for fast TCP prototype control. In this paper, we extend the fast TCP prototype control framework to window-based congestion control, in particular, TCP. This is performed by interfacing TCP with a large time scale control module which adjusts the aggressiveness of bandwidth consumption behavior exhibited by TCP as a function of "large time scale" network state. i.e., conformation that exceeds the horizon of the feedback loop as determined by RTT. Performance evaluation of fast TCP prototype is facilitated by a simulation bench-mark environment which is based on physical modeling of self-similar traffic. We explicate out methodology for discerning and evaluating the impact of changes in transport protocols in the protocol stack under self-similar traffic conditions. We discuss issues arising in comparative performance evaluation under heavy-tailed workload. workload.

In this paper, we propose an end-to-end mobility management and TCP flow control scheme which considers different link characteristics for vertical handover environments. The end-to-end mobility management is performed by using SIP protocol. When a mobile node moves to a new network, it informs its movement of the correspondent node by sending SIP INFO message containing a new IP address which will be used in the new network. And then the corresponding node encapsulates all packets with the new IP address and sends them to the mobile node. in general, RTT of WLAN is shorter than RTT of cdma2000. when the MN moves from WLAN network to cdma2000 network, TCP retransmission timeout will be occurred in spite of non congestion situations. Thus, TCP congestion window size will be decreased and TCP throughput will be also decreased. To prevent this phenomenon, we propose a method using probe packets after handover to estimate a link delay of the new network. We also propose a method using bandwidth ratio of each network to update RTT. It is shown through NS-2 simulations that the proposed schemes can have better performance than the previous works.
