BEHAVIOR OF TCP WESTWOOD IN WIRELESS NETWORKS
Robert Ryszard Chodorek, Andrzej Głowacz · 2003
Recently we can observe a significant growth in wireless network domain: cellular, cordless, access, point-to-point links and wireless local area network. It is now obvious that future 3G systems should interact with themselves and integrate well with IPbased Intemet. Along with development of wireless networks it is also essential to develop protocol layers, especially transport protocols as Transmission Control Protocol. TCP Westwood version seems to have undeniable advantages over other versions. The purpose of this work was simulation research on TCP performance in wireless networks. The results of research show that there are some problems with Westwood version of TCP protocol when applied to heterogeneous networks. These problems are mentioned in this paper. Simulation model based on oTCL language were implemented for ns network simulator.
