A modified mechanism of TCP congestion control over wireless network
Guo Li-peng · Journal of Circuits and Systems · 2006
The application of TCP over wireless networks is a challenging work due to high bit error rates,fading channels and handoff.This paper presents a novel congestion control mechanism for wireless networks,which modifies Reno based on RTT and differentiates between wireless link errors and network congestion in terms of the inference.Wireless link errors as well as congestion in the wired network are separately controlled.The changes of communication software are only required at the sender side,and it’s compatible with Reno.The simulation results show that this method can strengthen the processing capability of congestion and random errors,and it can also improve the throughput of the network efficiently.
