In this article, we propose a unified solution called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for Non-Congestion Events (TCP NCE),
to overcome the performance degradation of TCP due to non-congestion events over wireless networks. TCP NCE is capable to
reduce the unnecessary reduction of congestion window size and retransmissions caused by non-congestion events such as random
loss and packet reordering. TCP NCE consists of three schemes. Detection of non-congestion events (NCE-Detection), Differentiation
of non-congestion events (NCE-Differentiation) and Reaction to non-congestion events (NCE-Reaction). For NCE-Detection, we
compute the queue length of the bottleneck link using TCP timestamp and for NCE-Differentiation, we utilize the flightsize
information of the network with a dynamic delay threshold value. We introduce a new retransmission algorithm called 'Retransmission
Delay' for NCE-Reaction which guides the TCP sender to react to non-congestion events by properly triggering the congestion
control mechanism. According to the extensive simulation results using qualnet network simulator, TCP NCE acheives more than
70% throughput gain over TCP CERL and more than 95% throughput improvement as compared to TCP NewReno, TCP PR, RR TCP, TCP
Veno, and TCP DOOR when the network coexisted with congestion and non-congestion events. Also, we compared the accuracy and
fairness of TCP NCE and the result shows significant improvement over existing algorithms in wireless networks. |
