TCP Vegas for Ad hoc network is an end to end congestion avoidance protocol that uses conservative approach to determine and control network state. But this conservation scheme is not good in all conditions and it can unnecessarily reduce the size of congestion window. This paper proposes improved TCP Vegas an improvement over TCP Vegas in Ad hoc network that utilizes round trip time variation of packets at sender side, short term throughput and inter-delay difference at receiver side to measure the network state and then controls congestion window considering the path length and network state. Simulation results show the improvement of 5 to 15 % over Ad hoc TCP Vegas in high mobility and high traffic conditions.
