Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 資訊科學學系 === 95 === Recently, with the growth of WLAN, the world we live today is no longer a pure wired network, it’s a heterogeneous wireless network. The TCP that we commonly used has been proven to have misjudgements of packet loss in heterogeneous wireless networks. We design a cross-layer architecture called EATCP-Assisted module to help the sender collect MAC layer information, and adjust the congestion window more efficiently. In EATCP, there are two important parts: the first is estimation phase; the second is congestion control algorithm. By collecting the wirelessRTT, and utilization we can estimate the wiredBW and wirelessBW. The EATCP will distinguish the causes of packet loss from network congestion, channel fading, or contention between wireless clients. Thus, appropriate congestion window adjustment can be done accordingly. The simulation results show that our EATCP outperforms other versions of TCP.
