  2. Outlines • Introduction • Multi-dimensional zigzag code • Data link layer protocol • Performance evaluation • Automatic adaptation • Conclusions

  3. Introduction • Packet loss in wireless TCP: • congestion: TCP reacts properly • Random loss: reducing congestion window will cause performance degradation • New schemes differentiating congestion packet loss and random loss needed • Existing schemes: • Wireless aware TCP: two connections • TCP modification needed • Wireless unaware TCP: • Link layer: airmail, unlimited ARQ • Split connection: I-TCP, M-TCP • Proxy: snoop, new snoop

  4. TCP aware solution Control connection • Same fraction of ACKs received: packet loss due to congestion • Acknowledged fraction significantly different, random loss user connection

  17. Operation • Estimate the allowed retransmission times • When a new packet is received, encode it N-dimensional zigzag codeword, and divide the N parity vectors into m groups • Transmission counter set to 0 • Level 1 transmission: increase the transmission counter by 1, and transmit the information matrix with parity vector group 1 • Level i, 1<i<m+1: increase the counter by 1. If the retransmission limit is met, end. Otherwise, transmit the parity vector in group i.

  19. Performance Evaluation 1.544Mbps 1.544Mbps 100 m 200 m • Additive White Gaussian channel • Server-client connection: 32Mbytes, packet size: 12,000bits • Goodput measurement

  20. Goodput for different SNRs

  21. Goodput for different coding schemes SNR: 5 dB

  22. Automatic Channel Adaptation • Small number of possible states • A state suitable for a wide range of channel conditions • Un-match detectable

  23. Adaptation • 8 states • Two level transmission • criteria for state change: • If consecutively 100 information packets can be correctly decoded by only (L1-1) parity check vectors, increase the state by 1 • Information part of 5 packets out of 100 consecutive packets needed to be retransmitted, decrease the state by 1

  25. Example for adaptation • A FEC connection • if 3 packets out of consecutively 60 packets are discarded, state is decreased by 1 • if consecutively 40 packets can be decoded with less than Nr parity vectors, state is increased by 1 • simulation condition: • SNR=5.4dB, coding state: 1 (coding rate: 0.36) • SNR change 0.1dB roughly per 150 packets sent
