Although Snoop protocol can enhance TCP throughput efficiently in a wired-cum-wireless environment, it has a problem in performing local packet retransmissions under a burst error-prone wireless link. AT-Snoop protocol is proposed to cope with this Snoop protocol's problem by adopting adaptive timer. In this paper, TCP throughputs of AT-Snoop protocol have been analyzed with varying wireless link conditions and the ways of setting parameters of AT-Snoop protocol for higher TCP throughput are found out through computer simulations. From the simulation results, AT-Snoop protocol's two parameters, local retransmission threshold value and local retransmission timeout value, are closely related with the fading changing rate. To get higher TCP throughput, local retransmission threshold value and local retransmission timeout value should be set to a little bit larger values than average WSRTT(Wireless Smoothed Round Trip Time) and mean bad period of the wireless link, respectively.

This paper presents a method to improve the performance of Scalable Multicast Protocol deployed in wired and wireless network by adding retransmission function on base stations. When using Scalable Multicast Protocol over wireless and wired networks, packet drops on the wireless link produce the initiation of retransmission request packets and the implosion of retransmission packets, which deteriorate the multicast session performance. The efficient reliable multicast mechanism in wireless networks utilizing the retransmission function on the base station is addressed in this paper. We explain the design of a retransmission function which improves the performance of Scalable Multicast Protocol sessions in wireless and wirednetwork. The main idea is to cache Scalable Multicast Protocol packets at the base station and perform local retransmissions across the wireless link. ARENA has been used to simulate and to get performance for reducing signaling overhead and processing delay through the comparison of the proposed function to the Scalable Multicast Protocol.

그룹간 공동 작업이나 화상 회의와 같은 그룹 통신의 수요가 늘어나면서 멀티캐스팅을 이용한 효율적인 데이타 전송에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 특히 오디오나 비디오 데이타와는 달리 공동 문서 작업이나 그룹간 문서 전송을 위한 데이타 처리를 위해서는 어느 정도의 시간 손실이 있더라도 신뢰성을 보장할 수 있는 멀티캐스트 프로토콜이 요구된다. 그러나 멀티캐스트 전송에서의 신뢰성을 보장하기 위하여 손실 패킷에 대한 재전송 패킷이 전체 그룹으로 멀티캐스트 되는 것은 네트워크 상에 트래픽을 폭증시키는 요인이 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 지역 그룹에서의 오류 회복을 위한 재전송 제한 기법을 제안하여 손실 패킷의 재전송 과정에서 발생하는 트래픽의 폭주를 제어하고자 한다. 이것은 재전송 패킷이 중복없이 다중 수신자에게 전송될 수 있도록 하여 그룹 내의 재전송 패킷의 양을 줄이고 필요없는 중복 패킷이 네트워크의 효율을 저하시키는 것을 방지하고자 하는 데 그 목적이 있다. Abstract As the size and the geographic span of communication groups increases, efficient data transmission schemes using Multicast service become more and more essential. Especially, unlike audio and video applications, for some collaborative applications and other data delivery components which require ordered and lossless delivery of data, Reliable Multicast Service is needed to ensure consistent presentation across multiple views. Thus error recovery by retransmission of loss data is provided in order to guarantee the reliability of multicast transmission protocol. However, redundant retransmission packets by multicast may cause traffic implosion on the Internet and it can be aggravated with continuous retransmission.This paper describes a Restricted Retransmission Mechanism as an error recovery method of multicast service in a local group, which can handle traffic implosion in retransmission process. It reduces redundant retransmission packets flowing into a local group and supports reliable multicast transmission. The goal of this mechanism is to reduce retransmission packets and decrease the load for group members and networks.

The Snoop in the BS (Base Station) performs a local retransmission over wired-wireless networks to recover packet loss quickly. However, when the MH (Mobile Host) leaves the reception range of the signal, the local retransmission causes performance to degrade. In this paper, we minimize the packet loss and local retransmission caused by the unreachability from BS to MH to improve network performance. To do this, we suggest to add RSS(Received Signal Strengths) flag bit in ACK packet of MH. By using this flag bit, the BS decides whether it retransmits or not to minimize packet loss. The result of the simulation by ns-2 shows a big improvement of performance in the networks.

As the TCP is the protocol designed for the wired network that packet loss probability is very low, because TCP transmitter takes it for granted that the packet loss by the wireless network characteristics is occurred by the network congestion and lowers the transmitter's transmission rate, the performance is degraded. In this article, we suggest the newly improved algorithm using two parameters, the local retransmission time value and the local retransmission critical value to the BS based on the Snoop. This technique adjusts the base stations local retransmission timer effectively according to the wireless link status to recover the wireless packet loss rapidly. We checked that as a result of the suggested algorithm through various simulations, A-Snoop protocol improve more the wireless TCP transmission rate by recovering the packet loss effectively in the wireless link that the continuous packet loss occur than the Snoop protocol.

Multicast can send one copy of each packet to each member of the multicast group. Network resource is utilized effectively, consequently, it is suitable for one-to-many environments. reliability and flow control, however, are not supported basically, it is not suitable or transmission of multimedia data which have a time restriction. In this paper, we present a network model and a multicast retransmission scheme The proposed scheme remove ack-explosion from sender through local recovery and performs local retransmission when time restriction is satisfied on receiver by considering the state of receiver's buffer. Mathematical analysis and simulation are conducted to prove performance of the proposed scheme. The results are shown that the proposed scheme consumes a lower network bandwidth than the existing network model and guarantees QoS of receivers.

Interconnecting wireless local area networks (WLANs) with third generation (3G) cellular networks has become an issue of great interest. However, a Vertical Handover (VHO) causes an abrupt change in link bandwidth. Due to such a change, TCP triggers unnecessary fast retransmission during a Downward VHO (DVHO) from a cellular network to a WLAN, causing throughput degradation. Thus, we propose a new reordering mechanism for DVHO that suppresses unnecessary retransmission due to the spurious duplicate acknowledgments. We analytically investigate the throughput of TCP in the literature and our proposed scheme. Through the numerical and simulation results, it is shown that our proposed TCP achieves better performance in terms of throughput, compared with Nodupack with SACK.

Three protocols based on the slotted Aloha technique are proposed for very high-speed optical fiber local area networks using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) passive star topology and the throughputs and delays are derived. For getting a high probability in successful transmission of control packets determining the transmission of a data packet, we adopt control mini slot groups in these protocols. The retransmission probability is also considered in analysis. Both throughput and delay of three protocols are compared and analyzed by varying the number of control solt groups, the retransmission probability the length of a data packet and the number of channels. The numerical analysis shows that the proposed protocols adopted the control slot groups give the increase of throughput and the decrease of delay.

In IEEE 802.11n WLANs(Wireless Local Area Networks), to support high throughput, MAC(Media Access Control) layer adopts A-MSDU(Aggregate-MAC Service Data Unit) and A-MPDU(Aggregate-MAC Protocol Data Unit). Generally, as the A-MPDU uses a selective retransmission capability, A-MPDU provides higher throughput than A-MSDU. However, although A-MPDU uses the selective re-transmission capability, if the size of MPDU within A-MPDU is smaller than the size of minimum MPDU starting spacing, A-MPDU can reduce throughput because of the overhead of retransmission owing to the addition of delimiter, that is a dummy MPDU. Therefore, to overcome the above problem, two-level Aggregation method, where the small MPDU within A-MPDU is replaced by not delimiter but A-MSDU, has been introduced. In the two-level Aggregation method, the existing re-transmission scheme retransmits only A-MPDU, but if the size of retransmission data is smaller than the size of the minimum MPDU starting spacing, the proposed retransmission scheme retransmits the aggregated retransmission data and MSDUs. Therefore, we know that the proposed retransmission scheme have better throughput that the existing retransmission scheme.
