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.

Route failure is mainly caused by mobility of mobile host in ad hoc networks. Route failure, which may lead to sudden packet losses and delays, is losing the route from source to destination. In this situation, TCP assumes that congestion has occurred within the network and also initiates the congestion control procedures. Congestion control algorithm provides the means for the source to deal with lost packets. TCP performance in ad hoc environments will be degraded as TCP source cannot distinguish congestion from route failure. In this paper, we propose TCP-P as pre-detection approach to deal with route failure. TCP-P freezes TCP through pre-detection of route failure. Route failure information of the proposed mechanism is obtained not by routing protocol but by MAC protocol. The intermediated node, obtaining route failure information by its MAC layer, relays the information to TCP source and lets TCP source stop the congestion control algorithm. Results reveal that TCP-P responding with proactive manner outperforms other approaches in terms of communication throughput under the presence of node mobility.

In this paper we propose a technique of implementing the reconfigurable network protocol stack that allows for partitioning network protocol functions into software and hardware tasks on a SoC (System on Chip) platform. Additionally, we present a method that guarantees the deadline of both an individual task and messages exchanging among tasks in order to meet the deadline of real-time multimedia and networking services. The proposed real-time message exchange method guarantees the deadline of messages generated by multimedia services that are required to meet the real-time properties of multimedia applications. After implementing the networking functions of TCP/IP protocol suite into hardware and software tasks, we verify and validate their performance on the SoC platform. Experimental results indicate that the proposed technique improves the performance of TCP/IP protocol suit as well as application service satisfaction in application-specific real-time.

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.

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. To solve this problem, SACK-Aware-Snoop and SNACK mechanism have been proposed. These approaches improve the performance by using SACK option field between base station and mobile host. However in the wireless channel with high packet loss rate, SACK-Aware-Snoop and SNACK mechanism do not work well because of two reason: (a) end-to-end performance is degraded because duplicate ACKs themself can be lost in the presence of bursty error, (b) energy of mobile device and bandwidth utilization in the wireless link are wasted unnecessarily because of SACK option field in the wireless link. In this paper, we propose a new local retransmission scheme based on Cross-layer approach, called Cross-layer Snoop(C-Snoop) protocol, to solve the limitation of previous localized link layer schemes. C-Snoop protocol includes caching lost TCP data and performing local retransmission based on a few policies dealing with MAC-layer's timeout and local retransmission timeout. From the simulation result, we could see more improved TCP throughput and energy efficiency than previous mechanisms.

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.

유무선 통합망 환경에서 TCP는 무선망에서의 통신오류 밀 핸드오프를 혼잡으로 인한 패킷 손실로 간주하여 혼잡제어 메카니즘을 동작시키기 때문에 네트워크의 전반적인 효율을 저하시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로 무선망에서의 TCP 성능을 개선하기 위한 연구가 다양하게 진행되어 오고 있다. 그 중에서 Snoop 프로토콜은 종단간의 의미 구조를 유지하면서 무선망의 패킷 손실을 지역 재전송을 통하여 최소화하는 방식으로 통신오류에는 좋은 성능을 보여주지만, 대량의 무선 데이터 유입시 buffer overflow가 발생할 가능성이 높다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 버퍼관리 기법을 이용하여 buffer overflow 상황을 미연에 방지하여 불필요한 혼잡제어 메카니즘을 호출하는 것을 방지하면서 네트워크의 전반적인 효율을 향상시키는 방안을 제안하였다.

The TCP protocol is originally designed for wired network, however it performs very poor in wireless network due to different nature of wireless network from wired networks. In terms of TCP performance improvement in wireless Ad-hoc network, many researches show that small congestion window size of TCP connection can improve TCP performance. We propose a new TCP algorithm to improve TCP performance in wireless Ad-hoc network. The basic idea of our approach is that TCP receiver estimates the optimum window size and then sets congestion window limit of TCP sender to an optimum value by using the advertised window field in TCP ACK packet. From extensive computer simulation, the proposed algorithm shows superior performance than traditional TCP protocols in terms of packet delivery ratio and packet loss.

다양한 통신 매체의 등장과 애플리케이션의 요구사항이 늘어남에 따라 유연성과 확장성이 있는 네트워크 시스템에 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 시스템들은 새로운 서비스나 프로토콜의 확장이 쉽게 가능하며, 사용자의 요구사항에 따라 프로토콜 스택을 구성해낼 수 있는 유연한 구조를 가진다는 특징이 있다. 그러나 사용자의 요구사항에 맞추어 구성된 프로토콜이라 할지라도 네트워크의 변화하는 환경을 반영할 수 없다면 시스템의 성능 저하 문제는 피할 수 없다. 이에 본 논문에서는 유연성과 확장성을 고려한 시스템에서 네트워크의 변화하는 환경을 추가적으로 고려하여 TCP를 대상으로 적절한 변종의 선택을 결정하여 주는 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에 대해 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 적합성을 평가하였고 다양한 네트워크 상황이 주어졌을 때 표준 TCP와 비교하여 최대 $80{\sim}194%$의 성능 향상을 가져올 수 있음을 보였다.

UDP is an unreliable data transmission protocol, in contrast to TCP, which implements reliable data delivery based on flow control and retransmission methods. However, the TCP operation algorithm for guaranteeing reliability is inefficient in improving transmission performance, and above all, there is no need to transmit data using the TCP method for fields that do not require perfect integrity. In this paper, we intend to discuss ways to improve the stability while maintaining the existing performance of UDP. To this end, a program applied with packet buffering and relaying techniques was developed, and the performance and stability of the experiment were verified.
