TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) is one of the most important Internet protocols, which is widely used in wireless networks as well as wired networks. However, when TCP is deployed for wireless networks, it takes severe performance degradation because TCP was designed for wired network. To overcome this drawback, a number of TCP variants have been proposed in the literature. However, most previous schemes did not consider TCP enhancement over heterogeneous networks. In heterogeneous networks, an mobile node (MN) may move from one access network to another(i.e., vertical handover). In the case of vertical handover, an MN experiences a TCP performance degradation caused by the packet loss and the sudden change of link characteristics between two different access networks. In this work, we investigate the TCP performance degradation occurred in vortical handover across heterogeneous networks. First, we have conducted the measurement study over GPRS-WLAN testbed. In the measurement study. we observed the TCP performance degradation in the case of handover from WLAN to GPRS. In order to study more different TCP behaviors during vertical handover, we performed comprehensive simulations using a network simulator 2(ns-2). Based on measurement and simulation results, we investigated how to improve TCP performance in vertical handover and we concluded that the existing mechanisms cannot be perfect solutions and new mechanisms are strongly required.

Wireless communication environment is changing rapidly as we use new wireless communication technology such as WiBro to access high speed Internet. As a result, reliable data transmission using TCP is also expected to increase. Since TCP assumes that it is used in wired network, TCP suffers significant performance degradation over wireless network where packet losses are related to non-congestion loss. Especially RTO imposes a great performance degradation of TCP. In this paper, we analyze the loss recovery probabilities based on previous researches, and use simulation results of our algorithm to show that it prevents performance degradation by quickly detecting and recovery losses without RTO during fast recovery.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol(SCTP) is a new transport protocol that is known to provide improved performance than Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) in multi-homing environment that is having two and more IP addresses. But currently single-homed computer is used primarily that is having one IP address. To identify whether mean transfer time for SCTP is faster that for TCP in single-homed environment considering packet loss, we make up real testbed regulating the bandwidth, delay time and packet loss rate on router and observe the transfer time. We write server and client applications to measure SCTP and TCP mean transfer time by C language. Analysis of these experimental results from the testbed implementation shows that mean transfer time of SCTP is not better than performance of TCP in single homed environment exceptional case. Main reasons of performance are that SCTP compared to TCP stops transmitting data by timeout and data transmission is often delayed when SACK congestion happens. The result of study shows that elaborate performance tuning is required in developing a new SCTP module or using a implemented SCTP module.

ATM network technology is generally used for the solution of integrating multimedia service in high-speed Internet. In Internet protocol based on ATM services, If single cell is lost in ATM layer, the entire TCP packet will be lost. Therefore, TCP performance will be degraded. In order to reduce cell loss, when congestion occur, UBR+EPD mechanism is proposed to improve the throughput in TCP over UBR, and ER scheme is suggested in TCP over ABR. In this paper, we analyzed the performance improvement effect of UBR+EPD with FRR (Fast Retransmission and Recovery), the adjusting EPD threshold parameter (R), and variation of MTU (Maximum Transport Unit) size. As a result, through the analysis of performance, we know that the improved throughput and fairness are shown by the proposed scheme.

In this paper, the data service protocol which could support data service more efficiently between mobile host and fixed host in wire network is investigated. Wireless link has high bit error rate compared with wire link. Therefore, TCP performance for the data service is degraded in wire and wireless interworking environment. Thus, to reduce performance degradation. Interworking module withsimple protocol processing function is proposed. This, interworking module analyzes the hearder information of TCP fram. If received TCP freame is a duplicated frame, TCP frame is discared. Also, if interworking moudule receives retransmission request frame is a duplicated frame, TCP freme is discarded. Also, if interworking module receives retansmission request frame, interworking module performs retransmission procedure. According to simulation results, the proposed IWF shows better performance than traditional IWF in view of delay and throughput in the wire and wireless interworking environments.

Even though a lot of researches to improve the performance of TCP over wireless networks have been performed, the performance of TCP cannot satisfy users under high packet loss rate of wireless networks. This paper addresses the problem of TCP Westwood under high packet loss rate and reveals the reasons through the extensive simulation analysis. The ABE(Available Bandwidth Estimation) of TCP westwood becomes incorrect due to TCP dynamics of loss recovery. Based on this observation, we propose two algorithms for enhancing the correctness of ABE. We have evaluated the effects of the proposed algorithms through simulation. The proposed algorithms have achieved more correct ABE under the packet loss rate less than 1%.

The IETF has recently been standardizing the QUIC protocol for HTTP/3 services. It is noted that HTTP/3 uses QUIC as the underlying protocol, whereas HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 are based on TCP. Differently from TCP, the QUIC uses 0-RTT or 1-RTT transmissions to reduce the connection establishment delays of TCP and SCTP. Moreover, to solve the head-of-line blocking problem, QUIC uses the multi-streaming feature. In addition, QUIC provides various features, including the connection migration, and it is available at the Chrome browser. In this paper, we analyze the performance of QUIC for HTTP-based web and streaming services by comparing with the existing TCP and Streaming Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) in the network environments with different link delays and packet error rates. From the experimental results, we can see that QUIC provides better throughputs than TCP and SCTP, and the gaps of performances get larger, as the link delays and packet error rates increase.

In this paper, we analyze TCP congestion control algorithm over ATM-UBR network. TCP congestion control algorithm consists of slow start, congestion avoidance, fast recovery, fast retransmit. We analyze the ATM-UBR network service using the BSD 4.3 TCP Reno, Vanilla. However we found the fact that the characteristic of fast retransmit, recovery algorithm makes a serious degradation of Performance in multiple losses of packets. We propose new fast retransmit, recovery algorithm to improve the problem. The results of performance analysis improve the multiple losses of packets using a proposed fast retransmit, recovery algorithm.

TCP works well in wired networks where packet losses mainly occur due to congestion in data traffic. In wireless networks TCP does not differentiate packet losses from transmission errors or from congestion, which could lead to degrade the network performance. Several methods have been proposed to improve TCP performance over wireless links. Among them the Snoop module working at the base station is the popular method. In this paper, it is shown that the performance of Snoop largely depends upon the transmission link errors and the amount of data traffic. Also, our research shows that the local retransmission timeout value of Snoop can affect throughput. From the simulation results we suggest how to effectively use the Snoop algorithm considering data traffic and transmission link errors. It is expected that the proposed adaptive method will contribute to improving the network performance reducing the burden of the processes for data traffic.

In recent yeats, SCTP is known as the next transport layer protocol for connection-oriented and reliable data transfer after TCP/UDP. The SCTP was developed on the basis of the existing TCP and was designed to eliminate defects of TCP. SCTP has the different characteristic of multi-streaming and multi-homing from TCP. In this paper, we studied the defects of the performance of communication using the traits of multi-homing. And we evaluated the efficiency for each application services on the basis of SCTP of IPv6. Also, we analysed the delay time of a packet using SCTP and TCP. We noticed that the efficiency of SCTP is better than that of TCP.
