A Progressively Reliable Transport Protocol For
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a progressively reliable transport protocol for delivery of delay-sensitive multimedia over Internet connections with wireless access links. The protocol, termed “Leaky” ARQ, initially permits corrupt packets to be leaked to the receiving application and then uses retransmissions to progressively refine the quality of subsequent packet versions. A Web server would employ Leaky ARQ to quickly deliver a possibly corrupt first version of an image over a noisy bandlimited wireless link for immediate display by a Web browser. Later, Leaky ARQ’s retransmissions would enable the browser to eventually display a cleaner image. Forwarding and displaying corrupt error-tolerant image data: (1) lowers the perceptual delay compared to fully reliable packet delivery, and (2) can be shown to produce images with lower distortion than aggressively compressed images when the delay budget only permits weak forward error correction. Leaky ARQ supports delaying of re-transmissions so that initial packet transmissions can be expedited, and cancelling of retransmissions associated with “out-of-date” data. Leaky ARQ can be parameterized to partially retransmit audio and video. We propose to implement Leaky ARQ by modifying Type-II Hybrid/“code combining” ARQ.

WTP: bandwidth-efficient and reliable cross-layer transport protocol for MANETs
Performance and adaptability of the transport protocol are among the most critical parts of the TCP/IP protocol stack since it is directly related to the user interaction and application experience. In this paper we analyze specific problems of reliable transport protocol performance caused by rapidly changing topology in MANETs in addition to classical transport layer challenges. Then we propo...
متن کاملReliable data transport and congestion control in wireless sensor networks
Reliable data delivery and congestion control are two fundamental transport layer functions. Due to the specific characteristics of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), traditional transport layer protocols (e.g. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP)) that are widely used in the Internet may not be suitable for WSNs. In this paper, the characteristics of WSNs are revi...
