TCP enhancements for APS-FeW applying wireless network
Youyun Xu · Information technology newsletter · 2008
TCP's implicit assumption that any packet loss is due to congestion is not valid any longer in mobile ad hoc networks.It is observed that TCP induces the over-action of routing protocol and reduces the performance of the connection.Fraction window increment(FeW) scheme for TCP improves the performance by limiting TCP's aggressiveness.But to some extent,this limitation is too strict.To solve this problem,an adaptive packet size(APS) scheme to work on top of FeW is presented.The extensive simulation results demonstrate that APS over FeW outperforms FeW alone by 10%～25%.
