Parameter learning algorithm for the online data acknowledgment problem
Csanád Imreh, Tamás Németh · Optimization methods & software · 2011
In the communication aspect of a computer network, data are sent by packets. If the communication channel is not completely safe, then the arrival of the packets must be acknowledged. In the data-acknowledgment problem, the goal is to determine the time of sending acknowledgments. Here we present a new online algorithm for it, where the algorithm itself is a parameter-learning extension of the alarming algorithms. The efficiency of the algorithm is then investigated by testing it experimentally, and it is demonstrated that the new parameter-learning algorithm performs significantly better than the original one.
