Analysis and Improvement of TCP Performance in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Huimin Zhang

Abstract

TCP throughput performance of different TCP variants are compared and analyzed in detail by simulations both under static chain topology and under dynamic network topology of mobile Ad Hoc networks. An improved selective acknowledge algorithm (SSACK) is proposed to solve the gap problem in TCP receiver's window caused by high packet loss rate and link re-establishment of mobile Ad Hoc networks. Simulations show that the improved algorithm can improve TCP performance in mobile Ad Hoc networks considerably and leave more reservation space of TCP option for future use.
