TCP over IEEE 802.11
نویسنده
چکیده
IEEE 802.11 is a widely used wireless LAN standard for medium access control. TCP is a prominent transport protocol originally designed for wired networks. TCP treats packet loss as congestion and reduces the data rate. In wireless networks packets are lost not only due to congestion but also due to various other reasons. Hence there is need for making TCP adaptable to wireless networks. Various parameters of TCP and IEEE 802.11 can be set to appropriate values to achieve optimum performance results. In this paper optimum values for various parameters of IEEE 802.11 are determined. Network simulator NS2 is used for simulation.

Internet connectivity today is based mainly on TCP/IP protocol suite. Performance of the Internet transport protocols may significantly degrade when end to end connection includes wireless links where packets delays and losses are caused by mobility handoffs and transmission errors. In this paper we perform analysis of the achievable throughput for different TCP versions, such as TCP Tahoe, TCP...
متن کاملUnderstanding TCP fairness over Wireless LAN
As local area wireless networks based on the IEEE 802.11 standard see increasing public deployment, it is important to ensure that access to the network by different users remains fair. While fairness issues in 802.11 networks have been studied before, this paper is the first to focus on TCP fairness in 802.11 networks in the presence of both mobile senders and receivers. In this paper, we eval...
متن کاملPerformance of Reliable Transport Protocol over IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN: Analysis and Enhancement
IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control(MAC) is proposed to support asynchronous and time bounded delivery of radio data packets in infrastructure and ad hoc networks. The basis of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN MAC protocol is Distributed Coordination Function(DCF), which is a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance(CSMA/CA) with binary slotted exponential back-off scheme. Since IEEE 802.11 MAC...
متن کاملA queueing model for HTTP traffic over IEEE 802.11 WLANs
We consider an IEEE 802.11 based wireless LAN where an access point is used to connect a fixed number of users to the Web or to a shared file system. Users alternate between activity periods (corresponding to the download of a file) and idle periods (corresponding to think times). We first consider the interaction of TCP with the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, and get approximate expressions for the...
