無線鏈路的TCP性能問題及其改善

介紹了無線鏈路上的TCP性能問題和相關的工作。提出了一種改進從移動主機到固定網(wǎng)絡方向TCP性能的方案，在基站處設置TCP代理來監(jiān)視在無線鏈路上丟失的TCP報文段，通過復制和發(fā)送重復的ACK來觸發(fā)MH端TCP的快速重傳，有效地防止超時重傳的發(fā)生。計算機仿真結(jié)果表明此方案具有良好的性能。

Abstract The TCP performance on wireless link and the related works are introduced. A new scheme is proposed to improve the TCP performance over the wireless link on the direction from mobile host to fixed network. It installs a TCP agent at the base station to monitor the segments dropped on the wireless link, then triggers TCP fast retransmission on the MH side by replicating and forwarding specific ACKs, which can effectively avoid timeout retransmission. Simulation results show that the new scheme has favorable performance.
