In this paper, in order to improve the performance of TCP short traffic application services in wireless Internet environments, the Split-ACKs (SPACK) scheme is proposed. In wireless networks, unlike wired networks, packet losses will occur more often due to high bit error rates. Therefore, each packet loss over wireless lints results in congestion control procedure of TCP being invoked at the source. This causes severe end-to-end Performance degradation of TCP. In this paper, to alleviate the TCP Performance, the SPACK method, split acknowledgement Packets in the base station, is proposed. Using computer simulation, the performance of TCP using SPACK is analysed and shows better performance than traditional TCP Protocol.

최근 TCP와 유사하게 멀티미디어 데이터를 전송하기 위한 rate control 프로토콜에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 전송 방식에 있어서 TCP와 공정성을 유지하며 TCP와 유사하게 동작하도록 하는 TRCP 프로토콜을 제안한다. TRCP는 TCP vegas 이론을 응용하였으며 RTT와 패킷손실율에 의해 네트워크 혼잡 상태를 미리 예측하고 TCP의 AIMD 방식을 사용하여 TCP와 유사하게 전송율을.조절하는 프로토콜이다. 이 프로토콜에 대한 TCP와 공정성을 검증하기 위하여 시뮬레이션을 실시하고 그 결과를 분석한다.

In this paper, we design the TCP-Light protocol for directly connecting a sensor network with Internet. When we are monitoring the data and controlling of the sensor node, the sensor network must be connected to Internet. But TCP in wireless networks has a number of performance problems which is high bit-error rates and a hardware constraint. Moreover, the end-to-end acknowledgment and retransmission scheme employed by TCP causes expensive retransmissions along every hop of the path between the sender and the receiver. This paper introduces The TCP-Light protocol which increases TCP performance in wireless sensor networks, decreases the number of end-to-end retransmissions and decreases memory consumption.

최근 이동통신 서비스의 보급이 날로 증가됨에 따라 무선 접속 인터넷 서비스이 사용에 대한 요구가 급증하고 있다. 그러나 인터넷에서 사용되는 TCP 프로토콜은 에러 발생율이 낮은 유선망을 고려하여 설계되었기 때문에 망에서 발생되는 패킷 손실을 망내의 폭주로 인한 것으로 가정하고 폭죽제어 알고리즘을 동작시켜 윈도우 크기를 줄인다. 그러나 무선통신망과 같이 에러 발생율이 높은 환경에서는 패킷 손실이 주로 엘 발생에 기인하는데, 이 경우 기존의 TCP 프로토콜을 사용하면 폭주제어 알고리즘이 동작되어 TCP의 성능을 저하시키는 문제점이 발생된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 유무선 복합망에서 TCP 프로토콜의 성능을 개선하기 위한 Split ACKs 기법을 제안하였다. 이 기법은 기지국에서 무선링크의 패킷 손실 이후에 수신된 ACK 패킷을 여러 개로 쪼개서 TCP 송신측으로 전달한다. 따라서 여러 개의 ACK 패킷을 수신한 TCP 송신측은 폭죽제어 알고리즘이 동작되어 감소시킨 윈도우 크기를 빠르게 복귀시켜 주기 때문에, 저하된 TCP 프로토콜의 성능을 신속히 향상시킬 수 있다. 아울러 제안된 기법은 기존 TCP 프로토콜을 그대로 사용할 수 있으며, TCP의 End-to-end Semantics가 유지되는 장점이 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능분석 결과 이 기법은 기존의 TCP 프로토콜에 비해 약 20%의 성능향상을 보였다.

Snoop protocol is one of the efficient schemes to compensate TCP packet loss and enhance TCP throughput in wired-cum-wireless networks. However, Snoop protocol has a problem; it cannot perform local retransmission efficiently under the bursty-error prone wireless link. In this paper, we propose Enhanced Snoop(E-Snoop) protocol to solve this problem of Snoop protocol. With E-Snoop protocol, packet losses can be noticed by receiving new ACK packets as well as by receiving duplicate ACK packets or local retransmission timeout. Therefore, TCP throughput can be enhanced by fast recognition of bursty packet losses and fast local retransmissions. From the simulation results, E-Snoop protocol can improve TCP throughput more efficiently than Snoop protocol and can yield more TCP improvement especially in the channel with high packet loss rates.

TCP and UDP is a transport layer protocol of Internet. TCP is a connection oriented protocol which supports a reliable data transfer by offering error and flow control, but it bring a transmission delay. On the other hand, the UDP is a connectionless protocol which does not carry out error and flow control, but it guarantees a realtime transmission. There are hardly any protocols which supports not only realtime functions but also data reliability. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a new TCP mode option which supports reliable realtime transmission. Our designed TCP performs an error recovery process during a fixed amount of time. This time is negotiated during the connection establishment phase. Our designed TCP is tested in real environments, and we find that it is relatively faster than the standard TCP and more reliable than the UDP. It can be used for the reliable transfer of realtime multimedia data.

무선망에서는 유선망에 비해 그 특성상 비교적 많은 패킷을 손실된다. TCP 프로토콜은 흐름제어나 에러정정, 혼잡 제어 등의 기능을 통해 보다 효율적이고 안정적인 통신을 지원하고 있다. 하지만 표준 TCP 프로토콜은 유선망의 특성을 고려하여 개발하였기 때문에 무선망에서 혼잡한 상황에서 패킷이 도달하지 못한 경우와 실제로 패킷이 손실되어 전달되지 못하는 경우를 구분하지 못한다. 최근까지 제시된 여러 이동망 TCP에 대한 논문은 무선망에서 패킷이 손실된 경우 혼잡 제어를 일어나지 못하게 하는 방법을 제시하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 TCP Persist Timer를 이용하여 혼잡제어를 회피하는 방법을 기존에 제시된 Snoop 프로토콜에 적용하여 자체적인 이동망상에서의 TCP 성능향상에 더하여 연속적인 에러에 대한 성능 향상을 제고하고 있다. 개선된 Snoop 프로토콜은 WZACK(Window Size Zero ACKnowledge Packet)을 이용하여 혼잡제어를 정지시킴으로써 비효율적인 혼잡제어를 막도록한다.

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.
