Research on TCP Cross-layer Design Based on Explicit Congestion Feedback in Wireless Networks
Xiangli Zhang · 2009
The algorithm of congestion control can not be extended to wireless networks in a straightforward manner because the different characters of wireless links.Subsequently,cross-layer re-design of TCP was brought forward to optimize TCP performance.However,it is less considered about how to syncretize cross-layer methods into existing TCP protocols,which result in limited applications.We proposed a TCP model with cross-layer explicit congestion feedback,whose feasibility,compatibility and expansibility were discussed in detail.This model is worthy referring to researches on TCP protocols in hybrid networks.
