In certain wireless environments the common transport protocol assumption that all packet losses are due to congestion may not hold true. If transport protocols react identically to both congestion and non-congestion related losses, performance will degrade. To avoid this performance problem, transport protocols must be able to differentiate between losses that are due to congestion and losses ...

TCP is a popular internet protocol for reliable end-to-end data delivery, but it cannot be applied to wireless networks in which packet loss may be induced by higher BER or handover than congestion. It assumes that such packet loss is caused by network congestion and initiates congestion control procedures. In this paper, we present a novel protocol using Explicit Handover Notification to impro...

Recently, a number of Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithms, such as REM and GREEN, have been proposed which reduce the packet queueing backlog and hence reduce the network’s latency close to the propagation delay. This paper uncovers a fundamental problem that a low latency TCP/IP network faces. We call this problem the “low latency efficiency collapse”. With Explicit Congestion Notificatio...

This document contains the profile for Congestion Control Identifier 3, TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC), in the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). CCID 3 should be used by senders that want a TCP-friendly sending rate, possibly with Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), while minimizing abrupt rate changes. Floyd, et al.

In WSN, usually tens or thousands of sensor nodes are deployed, scattered way in an area with one or more sinks. Moreover, for achieving reliability and load balancing, several multipath routing protocols have been proposed. But the limitation of these protocols is traffic overhead. Thus the occurrence of congestion in this situation is more likely.[3] The situation becomes worse when congestio...
