With the development of wireless data communication technology, all IP-based network will become compositions of wired and wireless networks. TCP is a connection-oriented, reliable transport protocol and has been used as de facto standard in most wired networks. Because TCP's congestion control algorithm could not distinguish congestion from BER, link failure and frequent route changes, TCP shows a poor performance over mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper, the theoretical feature of TCP was studied and the performance of TCP over mobile ad-hoc networks was analyzed with ns2.

This paper proposes an extended TCP/IP protocol, LAN/TCP, that can be used for the distributed soft real-time systems connected through the Ethernet-based local area network. Since LAN/TCP shows soft real-time performance with keeping compatibility and interoperability with the standard TCP/IP, the existing application software can be used without any modification. LAN/TCP also provides the periodic transmission mode(PTM) with which the periodical data collection and updating the control signals can be efficiently implemented with relatively small traffic overhead. This paper includes the computer simulation and experimental results of the proposed protocol.

Biodegradable $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate ( $\beta$-TCP)/poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composites were synthesized by in-situ polymerization with microwave energy. The influence of the $\beta$-TCP content in $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites on the molecular weight, crystallinity, microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. As the molecular weight of composites decreased, the $\beta$-TCP content increased up to 10 wt.%, while the excess addition of the $\beta$-TCP content above 10 wt.% the molecular weight increased with increasing of the $\beta$-TCP content. This behavior would be due to the superheating effect or nonthermal effect induced by microwave energy. It was found that the bending strength and Young's modulus of the $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites was proportional to the molecular weight of PLGA. The bending strength of the $\beta$-TCP/PLGA composites ranged from 18 to 38 MPa, while Young's modulus was in the range from 2 to 6 GPa.

Due to the recent advance in wireless communication technology, it is now more demanding to enjoy the high quality of service in the wireless Internal. TCP, which many Internet applications depend on for the end-to-end transport service, is optimized for the wired environment. Consequently, TCP suffers from severe performance degradation in the wireless environment where the bit error rate is relatively high and the burst errors frequently take place. In this paper, we propose a Robust TCP algorithm, which can effectively react against the burst error and significantly improve the TCP performance in wireless Internet. It is shown through the simulations that the Robust TCP performs well in the wireless environment, especially under the burst error condition.

While the TCP throughput degradation problem in coded wireless mesh networks is well-known, few effective solutions have been proposed. Most schemes proposed attempts to mask packet reordering by ordering packets at a lower layer or to adjust a packet transmission rate to solve the scarcity problem of coding opportunities. Through the throughput comparison of traditional standard TCP variants, we show that losses and duplication of TCP acknowledgements in coded wireless mesh networks can impact throughput. In addition, we show that a TCP variant that does not rely on duplicate acknowledgements is more suitable for coded wireless mesh networks.

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.

TCP SACK is the unique mechanism to reflect the situation of sink's sequence space, some TCP variants and proposals can perform in conjunction with SACK mechanism for achieving optimal performance. By definition of RFC 2018, however, each contiguous block of data queued at the data receiver is defined in the SACK option by two 32-bit unsigned integers in network byte order. Since TCP Options field has a 40-byte maximum length, when error bursts now, we note that the available option space may not be sufficient to report all blocks present in the receiver's queue and lead to unnecessarily force the TCP sender to retransmit Packets that have actually been received by TCP sink. For overcoming this restriction, in this thesis, a new solution named 'one-byte offset based SACK mechanism' is designed to further improve the performance or TCP SACK and prevent those unwanted retransmissions. The results or both theory analysis and simulation also show that his proposed scheme operates simply and more effectively than the other existing schemes by means of the least bytes and most robust mechanism to the high packet error rates often seen in networks environment.

TCP/IP, the most popular communication protocol, is processed on a host CPU in traditional computer systems and this imposes enormous loads on the host CPU. Recently TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) technology, which processes TCP/IP on a network adapter instead of the host CPU, becomes an important way to solve the problem. In this paper we analysed the structure of a TCP/IP protocol stack in the Linux operating system and important factors, which cause a lot of loads on the host CPU, by measuring the time spent on processing each function in the protocol stack. Based on these analyses, we propose a Hybrid TOE architecture, in which functions imposing much loads on the host CPU are implemented using hardware and other functions are implemented using software.

Improving TCP performance has long been the focus of many research efforts in 802.11 wireless networks study. Hop count and Round Trip Time (RTT) are the critical sources which serious affect the TCP performance on end to end connection. In this paper, we analytical derived the affection and based on the analysis we propose TCP should Change its Expected Value (TCP-CEV) when hop count and RTT change by setting a reasonable CWND change rate to improve the performance. The proposed scheme is applicable to a wide range of transport protocols using the basic TCP mechanism, and the protocol behavior is analytically tractable. We show that our simple strategy improves TCP performance at least over 12% in a chain topology, 4.9% in a grid topology and improve the TCP convergence.

TCP has been designed and tuned as a reliable transfer protocol far wired links. However, it incurs end-to-end performance degradation in wireless environments where packet loss is very high. TCP HACK(Header Checksum Option) is a novel mechanism proposed to improve original TCP in lossy link. It presents an extension to TCP that enables TCP to distinguish packet corruption from congestion in losssy environments. TCP HACK performs well when the sender receives the special ACKs correctly, hut if the ACKs are also lost much, the efficient of TCP HACK will net be prominent. In this paper we present an extension to TCP HACK, which can perform well even when the ACKs are much corrupted.
