Performance improvement of licklider transmission protocol in complex deep space networks based on parameter optimization

A reasonable parameter configuration helps improve the data transmission performance of the Licklider Transmission Protocol(LTP).Previous research has focused mainly on parameter optimization for LTP in simplified scenarios with one to two hops or multihop scenarios with a custody mechanism of the Bundle Protocol(BP).However,the research results are not applicable to communications in Complex Deep Space Networks(CDSNs)without the custody mechanism of BP that are more suitable for deep space communications with LTP.In this paper,we propose a model of file delivery time for LTP in CDSNs.Based on the model,we propose a Parameter Optimization Design Algorithm for LTP(LTP-PODA)of configuring reasonable parameters for LTP.The results show that the accuracy of the proposed model is at least 6.47%higher than that of the previously established models based on simple scenarios,and the proposed model is more suitable for CDSNs.Moreover,the LTP parameters are optimized by the LTP-PODA algorithm to obtain an optimization plan.Configuring the optimization plan for LTP improves the protocol transmission performance by at least 18.77%compared with configuring the other parameter configuration plans.

Improving Throughput of Transmission Control Protocol Using Cross LayerApproach

Most of the internet users connect through wireless networks. Majorpart of internet traffic is carried by Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). It hassome design constraints while operated across wireless networks. TCP is the traditional predominant protocol designed for wired networks. To control congestionin the network, TCP used acknowledgment to delivery of packets by the end host.In wired network, packet loss signals congestion in the network. But rather inwireless networks, loss is mainly because of the wireless characteristics such asfading, signal strength etc. When a packet travels across wired and wireless networks, TCP congestion control theory faces problem during handshake betweenthem. This paper focuses on finding this misinterpretation of the losses using crosslayer approach. This paper focuses on increasing bandwidth usage by improvingTCP throughput in wireless environments using cross layer approach and hencenamed the proposed system as CRLTCP. TCP misinterprets wireless loss as congestion loss and unnecessarily reduces congestion window size. Using the signalstrength and frame error rate, the type of loss is identified and accordingly theresponse of TCP is modified. The results show that there is a significant improvement in the throughput of proposed TCP upon which bandwidth usage isincreased.

Transmission Considerations with QoS Support to Deliver Real-Time Distributed Speech Recognition Applications

Distributed speech recognition (DSR) applications have certain QoS (Quality of service) requirements in terms of latency, packet loss rate, etc. To deliver quality guaranteed DSR application over wirelined or wireless links, some QoS mechanisms should be provided. We put forward a RTP/RSVP transmission scheme with DSR-specific payload and QoS parameters by modifying the present WAP protocol stack. The simulation result shows that this scheme will provide adequate network bandwidth to keep the real-time transport of DSR data over either wirelined or wireless channels.

Multi-Stage Image Compression-Decompression System Using PCA/IPCA to Enhance Wireless Transmission Security

The goal of this paper is to propose a fast and secure multi-stage image compression-decompression system by using a wireless network between two Personal Computers (PCs). In this paper, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique is used for multi-stage image compression and Inverse Principal Component Analysis (IPCA) for multi-stage image decompression. The first step of the proposed system is to select the input image, the second step is to perform PCA up to 9 times on the input image, this compression, and after multi-stage compression process then the third step begins by transforming across wireless Ad hoc Network (WANET) to the second computing device, forth step start with multi-stage decompression process up 9 times. The proposed system for different images is transferred over the wireless network using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which is programmed using the network role property of the MATLAB program. The proposed system implements 25 different images correctly (100%). The main contribution of this paper is that we are dealing with the black image at the end of the compressed process ad start with a black image at the start of the decompressed process of this proposed system. In this work, the compressed and uncompressed images are compared with each other in their size and transmission time. This system can be very useful in networks because they provide a high level of protection to the transmitted data from hackers because they cannot guess how much the image has been compressed or what kind of information the image represents.

Mobility Aware Zone-Based Routing in Vehicle Ad hoc Networks Using Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm

Vehicle Ad hoc Networks(VANETs)have high mobility and a rando-mized connection structure,resulting in extremely dynamic behavior.Several challenges,such as frequent connection failures,sustainability,multi-hop data transfer,and data loss,affect the effectiveness of Transmission Control Protocols(TCP)on such wireless ad hoc networks.To avoid the problem,in this paper,mobility-aware zone-based routing in VANET is proposed.To achieve this con-cept,in this paper hybrid optimization algorithm is presented.The hybrid algo-rithm is a combination of Ant colony optimization(ACO)and artificial bee colony optimization(ABC).The proposed hybrid algorithm is designed for the routing process which is transmitting the information from one place to another.The optimal routing process is used to avoid traffic and link failure.Thefitness function is designed based on Link stability and Residual energy.The validation of the proposed algorithm takes solution encoding,fitness calculation,and updat-ing functions.To perform simulation experiments,NS2 simulator software is used.The performance of the proposed approach is analyzed based on different metrics namely,delivery ratio,delay time,throughput,and overhead.The effec-tiveness of the proposed method compared with different algorithms.Compared to other existing VANET algorithms,the hybrid algorithm has proven to be very efficient in terms of packet delivery ratio and delay.

An Efficient Priority-Driven Congestion Control Algorithm for Data Center Networks

With the emerging diverse applications in data centers,the demands on quality of service in data centers also become diverse,such as high throughput of elephant flows and low latency of deadline-sensitive flows.However,traditional TCPs are ill-suited to such situations and always result in the inefficiency(e.g.missing the flow deadline,inevitable throughput collapse)of data transfers.This further degrades the user-perceived quality of service(QoS)in data centers.To reduce the flow completion time of mice and deadline-sensitive flows along with promoting the throughput of elephant flows,an efficient and deadline-aware priority-driven congestion control(PCC)protocol,which grants mice and deadline-sensitive flows the highest priority,is proposed in this paper.Specifically,PCC computes the priority of different flows according to the size of transmitted data,the remaining data volume,and the flows’deadline.Then PCC adjusts the congestion window according to the flow priority and the degree of network congestion.Furthermore,switches in data centers control the input/output of packets based on the flow priority and the queue length.Different from existing TCPs,to speed up the data transfers of mice and deadline-sensitive flows,PCC provides an effective method to compute and encode the flow priority explicitly.According to the flow priority,switches can manage packets efficiently and ensure the data transfers of high priority flows through a weighted priority scheduling with minor modification.The experimental results prove that PCC can improve the data transfer performance of mice and deadline-sensitive flows while guaranting the throughput of elephant flows.

Active Queue Management Exploiting the Rate Information in TCP-IP Networks

In this paper, we propose a new mechanism called explicit rate notification(ERN) to be used in end-to-end communications. The ERN scheme encodes in the header of transmission control protocol(TCP) packets information about the sending rate and the round trip time(RTT) of the flows. This new available information to the intermediate nodes(routers) is used to improve fairness, increase utilization, decrease the number of drops, and minimize queueing delays. Thus, it induces a better management of the queue. A comparison of our scheme with preexistent schemes, like the explicit congestion notification scheme, shows the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism.

Novel evaluation method of TCP performance over satellite links

A novel and efficient method to evaluate the transmission control protocol （TCP） performance over satellite links is presented. A TCP module is divided into three functional blocks, namely data processing, congestion control and error control The re-established TCP module is easy to update TCP congestion control strategy or error control strategy. With the proposed analysis approach, the interactions between different congestion control and error control mechanisms, as well as the performanee of various combination protocols in satellite environments have been investigated. Simulation results obtained through a series of experiments have shown that SNACK-based error control strategy can perform well with any other congestion control strategy. The best performanee can be achieved by TCP NewReno congestion control strategy and SNACK-based error control strategy.

Modeling TCP Incast Issue in Data Center Networks and an Adaptive Application-Layer Solution

In data centers, the transmission control protocol(TCP) incast causes catastrophic goodput degradation to applications with a many-to-one traffic pattern. In this paper, we intend to tame incast at the receiver-side application. Towards this goal, we first develop an analytical model that formulates the incast probability as a function of connection variables and network environment settings. We combine the model with the optimization theory and derive some insights into minimizing the incast probability through tuning connection variables related to applications. Then,enlightened by the analytical results, we propose an adaptive application-layer solution to the TCP incast.The solution equally allocates advertised windows to concurrent connections, and dynamically adapts the number of concurrent connections to the varying conditions. Simulation results show that our solution consistently eludes incast and achieves high goodput in various scenarios including the ones with multiple bottleneck links and background TCP traffic.

TCP TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE IMPROVING IN LTE-A NETWORKS

This paper presents a novel way to improve Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) performance of the users at the edge areas of the macro cells in Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) systems. Previous works on improving wireless TCP performance are reviewed and current considerations on TCP in LTE-A are explained. However, those solutions are neither too complex nor limited to some presuppositions which are too restricting for the deployment of LTE-A networks. In this paper a substituted TCP acknowledgement transmission scheme based on Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) information in layer 2 is proposed. The simulation result shows that the proposed method can reduce the delay and improve the throughput of the edging users of the cell, as well as reducing radio resources in LTE-A macro cells.

A setup guideline to produce realistic simulation results has been established.

Design of assembly control algorithm based on burst-size feedback for optical burst switching network

A novel assembly control algorithm named burst-size feedback adaptive assembly period （BFAAP） is proposed. The major difference between BFAAP and other similar adaptive assembly algorithms is that the control curve of BFAAP is dynamically adjusted according to the feedback of outgoing burst size. BFAAP is compared with two typical algorithms fixed assembly period （FAP） and min-burst length max- assembly period （MBMAP） in simulation in terms of burst size distribution and assembly period. Moreover, the transmission control protocol （TCP） performance over BFAAP is also considered and simulated.

Covariances of Linear Stochastic Differential Equations for Analyzing Computer Networks

Analyses of dynamic systems with random oscillations need to calculate the system covariance matrix, but this is not easy even in the linear case if the random term is not a Gaussian white noise. A universal method is developed here to handle both Gaussian and compound Poisson white noise. The quadratic variations are analyzed to transform the problem into a Lyapunov matrix differential equation. Explicit formulas are then derived by vectorization. These formulas are applied to a simple model of flows and queuing in a computer network. A stability analysis of the mean value illustrates the effects of oscillations in a real system. The relationships between the oscillations and the parameters are clearly presented to improve designs of real systems.

Integral sliding-mode robust observer-based congestion control for wireless access networks

Designing a robust active queue management(RAQM)is mandatory to avoid congestion in networks with wireless access links,because transmission control protocol(TCP)can detect con-gestion after its occurrence in a communication network and wireless links suffer from bottleneck capacity variations caused by fading and packet error rate(PER)in the acknowledgement pack-ets.Furthermore,the average window size cannot be measured explicitly from the output signal and input and state delay are imposed to a network,which complicate theRAQMdesign problem in nonlinear models.So,the main contribution of this study is to design a robust observer based control procedure based on integral sliding mode protocol to estimate the average window size,to control congestion in a TCP/RAQM network and to compensate input and state delay.Sim-ulation results via professional simulator NS-2 and SIMULINK confirm that the procedure can effectively estimate the window size and can robustly avoid congestion.
