Poster: Tcp Congestion Control Based on Transmission Rate of Wireless Lan Interfaces

TCP congestion control uses end-to-end delay and packet discard information to control the transmission rate. In the wireless LAN, there is a time lag between TCP congestion control and the transmission rate control of the wireless LAN interfaces, and there is no coordination between the respective controls. Thus, congestion control corresponding to the current state of the wireless network can be achieved by shortening this time lag. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to control the congestion window by detecting changes in the transmission rate of the wireless LAN interfaces. Our proposed method enables to control congestion windows size by using data link layer information, instead of using only transport layer information. This paper verified the effectiveness of the proposed method by network simulator ns-3.40.
