Outline • Introduction • Main Idea • TCP over MAC Layer • TCP Measurements • Conclusion
Introduction(1/2) • Two key requirements of the ad-hoc network environment : -reliable data transfer -congestion control • Both MAC and TCP layers strive to provide efficient transport in a shared environment
Introduction(2/2) • MAC layer has only a myopic view • TCP layer provides a true end-to-end control on errors and congestion • Interaction between TCP and MAC layer backoff timer causes unfairness and capture condition • Study the TCP/MAC layer interaction via simulation.
Main Idea • Embedded the ACK in the MAC layer protocol • TCP interactive with MAC improves performance
Experimental Configuration and Parameters(1/2) • Three types of topologies: 1. String Topology 2. Ring Topology 3. Grid Topology
Experimental Configuration and Parameters(2/2) • Three MAC protocols: 1. CSMA “hidden terminal” problem 2. FAMA descendent of MACA (Multiple Access Collision Avoidence) 3. MACAW extends MACA,contains addition control packet
TCP Measurements(1/3) • Unfairness/capture behavior observed • TCP does include the disconnect feature
Conclusion • MACAW with its ACK feature,MILD backoff provides much better fairness • More work on link loss protection
