Flexible Radio Network (FRN), one of the ad hoc wireless network systems, adopts an original protocol, which includes a packet retransmission mechanism against packet transmission errors. While this mechanism intends to improve packet reachability, it sometimes causes unnecessary packet duplications and degrades the network performance due to a lack of a capability that differentiates packet tr...

In a packet-switched network, a feedback-based congestion control mechanism is essential to provide data transfer services efficiently. Its main objective is to prevent packet losses in the network, and to utilize network resources effectively. The current Internet uses a windowbased flow control mechanism in its TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), as the feedback-based congestion control mech...
