An agent based TCP/IP for Wireless Networks.
B. Sasikumar, Venkatesh Mathan Kumar Vasudevan · 2008
Recently, wireless devices are being used in ubiquitous ways and wireless networks are becoming increasingly important in the global communication architecture. Most of the wireless networks have fixed infrastructure and the need for mobile wireless networks are growing rapidly, which requires higher data rates. Due to high data rate in wireless networks the TCP performance has a broad and significant impact on data applications, and is essential towards a future massive deployment of service-providing agents and their widespread social acceptance. The uses of extensive local retransmission mechanism in wireless networks are adequate. In order to improve the performance of TCP/IP, a JADE (Java Agent Development Environment) agent is used to implement along with the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The personal agent communicates wirelessly, in order to find the most appropriate option to serve the user. Performance has been analyzed for the TCP/IP with and without JADE agent platform as technology choice and investigated its efficiency in a number of cases.
