TCP Over WirelessBY Ankur Vyavaharkar Gagandeep Gill
Agenda • TCP overview • TCP fundamentals • Wireless Network • Simulation using Opnet • Mobility and TCP • Improvements
TCP OVERVIEW • Connection oriented end-to-end data transfer protocol. • reliable end-to end transmission of data achieved by error and retransmission. • Congestion control over the internet. • Much better suited for wired networks than wireless networks. • End-to-end semantics • Acknowledgements sent to TCP sender confirm delivery of data received by TCP receiver • Ack for data sent only after data has reached receiver
Window Size Cont… • Efficient use of higher bandwidth networks. • Avoiding Dead Lock situation. • Transmits certain segments with sequence numbers. • Effective flow control
TCP Over Wireless Networks • Communication over wireless links is often characterized by sporadic high bit-error rates, and intermittent connectivity due to handoffs. • When packets are lost in networks for reasons other than congestion, these measures result in an unnecessary reduction in end –to-end throughput and sub- Optimal performance. • TCP performance in wireless networks suffers from significant throughput degradation and very high interactive delays.
Wireless Losses • Low quality wireless links • Mobility • High probability of transmission errors • Low data rates • Long delays • Lower bandwidth • Handovers
Proposed Improvements • Link Layer protocols • Indirect-TCP protocol • The snoop Protocol • Selective Acknowledgments
Alterations to TCP • Window limitation. • Selective acknowledgement (SACK). • TCP byte counting. • Split connection. • Last hop solutions.
Conclusion • A comparison of different TCP flavors are made. • Reno performs well when congestion is less ( i.e. one drop) • It can be seen from the graph that Modified TCP Tahoe perform best in a wireless scenario when congestion is more. • Slow Start and congestion avoidance is very important algorithm for improvement in TCP performance.
