TCP-Like Molecular Communications

Improving TCP performance in integrated wireless communications networks

Many analytical and simulation-based studies of TCP performance in wireless environments assume an error-free and congestion-free reverse channel that has the same capacity as the forward channel. Such an assumption does not hold in many real-world scenarios, particularly in the hybrid networks consisting of various wireless LAN (WLAN) and cellular technologies. In this paper, we first study, t...

Analysis of Malicious Traffic in Modbus/TCP Communications

Performance-Cost Trade-Off Strategic Evaluation of Multipath TCP Communications

Today’s mobile terminals have several access network interfaces. New protocols have been proposed during the last few years to enable the concurrent use of multiple access paths for data transmission. In practice, the use of different access technologies is subject to different interconnection costs, and mobile users have preferences on interfaces jointly depending on performance and cost facto...

Wireless Antennas - Making Wireless Communications Perform Like Wireline Communications

We first provide an overview of some of the latest developments in wireless communications using multiple transmitters and multiple receivers. We point out the importance of SNR control in fast random fading environment. For applications where large antenna arrays are not suitable, we introduce the concept of wireless antennas or wireless relays that are distributed between a source and a desti...

TCP - like congestion control for layered

We present a novel congestion control algorithm suitable for use with cumulative, layered data streams in the MBone. Our algorithm behaves similarly to TCP congestion control algorithms, and shares bandwidth fairly with other instances of the protocol and with TCP ows. It is entirely receiver driven and requires no per-receiver status at the sender, in order to scale to large numbers of receive...
