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.

Cloud control for IIoT in a cloud-edge environment

The industrial Internet of Things(IIoT)is a new indus-trial idea that combines the latest information and communica-tion technologies with the industrial economy.In this paper,a cloud control structure is designed for IIoT in cloud-edge envi-ronment with three modes of 5G.For 5G based IIoT,the time sensitive network(TSN)service is introduced in transmission network.A 5G logical TSN bridge is designed to transport TSN streams over 5G framework to achieve end-to-end configuration.For a transmission control protocol(TCP)model with nonlinear disturbance,time delay and uncertainties,a robust adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller(AFSMC)is given with control rule parameters.IIoT workflows are made up of a series of subtasks that are linked by the dependencies between sensor datasets and task flows.IIoT workflow scheduling is a non-deterministic polynomial(NP)-hard problem in cloud-edge environment.An adaptive and non-local-convergent particle swarm optimization(ANCPSO)is designed with nonlinear inertia weight to avoid falling into local optimum,which can reduce the makespan and cost dramatically.Simulation and experiments demonstrate that ANCPSO has better performances than other classical algo-rithms.

A Stream Control Transmission Protocol Based OAM System of 3G Cellular Network

OAM (Operations, Administration and Maintenance) system is a very impo rtant component of 3G cellular network. In order to acquire overall managemen t, fast response and steady operation, an SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Prot ocol) based OAM, i.e., SOAM system was proposed. SOAM implements new characters of SCTP such as multi-stream, enforced SACK and heartbeat mechanism on its tran sport layer. These characters help SOAM decrease the message transmission delay and accelerate the link failure detection. Besides, a new component named SOAM agent was introduced to improve the operation efficiency of SOAM. The experim ental results prove the proposed SOAM system achieves better performance on sign aling transmission compared with conventional TCP based OAM system.

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.

AN EFFECTIVE NETWORK CONGESTION CONTROL METHOD FOR MULTILAYER NETWORK

The congestion control problem in a single node network has been solved by the nonlinearfeedback control method,which has been proven to be effective and robust for different router’s queuesize.However,these control models are based on the single layer network architecture,and the sendersand receivers are directly connected by one pair of routers.With the network architecture being moreand more complex,it is a serious problem how to cooperate many routers working in the multilayernetwork simultaneously.In this paper,an effective Active Queue Management(AQM)scheme toguarantee the stability by the nonlinear control of imposing some restrictions on AQM parameter inmultilayer network is proposed.The nonlinear control can rely on some heuristics and network trafficcontrollers that appear to be highly correlated with the multilayer network status.The proposedmethod is based on the improved classical Random Early Detection(RED)differential equation and atheorem for network congestion control.The theorem proposed in the paper proved that the stability ofthe fluid model can effectively ensure the convergence of the average rate to its equilibrium pointthrough many routers in multilayer network.Moreover,when the network capacity is larger,theproposed scheme can still approach to the fullest extensibility of utilization and ensure the stability ofthe fluid model.The paper reveals the reasons of congestion control in multilayer network,provides atheorem for avoiding network congestion,and gives simulations to verify the results.

AN ENHANCEMENT SCHEME OF TCP PROTOCOL IN MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS:MME-TCP

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) optimization in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) is a challenging issue because of some unique characteristics of MANETs. In this paper,a new end-to-end mechanism based on multiple metrics measurement is proposed to improve TCP performance in MANETs. Multi-metric Measurement based Enhancement of TCP (MME-TCP) designs the metrics and the identification algorithm according to the characteristics of MANETs and the experiment results. Furthermore,these metrics are measured at the sender node to reduce the overhead of control information over networks. Simulation results show that MME-TCP mechanism achieves a significant performance improvement over standard TCP in MANETs.

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.

Treatment of Wet FGD Wastewater by a Modified Chemical Precipitation Method Using a Solid Powder Reagent

This research focused on developing a modified chemical precipitation (MCP) method for treating wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) waste water by adding a solid powder reagent directly. Simulated wet FGD wastewater was treated by MCP method in simulation experiments. Optimization experiments were carried out with the help of response surface methodology (RSM) and central composite design (CCD) to evaluate the effects and the interactions of experimental variables, including reagent dosage, temperature and pH value. The optimal reagent dosage, temperature and pH value were 3018.0 mg/L, 40.5 °C and 5.7, respectively. The RSM was demonstrated as an appropriate approach for the optimization of wet FGD wastewater treatment with the MCP method. A comparative study between the MCP method and the traditional chemical precipitation (TCP) method on raw wet FGD wastewater treatment was conducted. Results indicate that the MCP had less reagent dosage and variety than the TCP method had. Thus, the MCP method had a lower cost. © 2017, Tianjin University and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

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.

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 new improvement of TCP based on adaptive filtering

On the basis of studying the standard TCP retransmission mechanism, this paper proposes a method to adopt the theory of adaptive filtering in the field for the estimation of round trip time （RTT）. Then this method is embedded in TCP for estimation of RTT, and defined as RTT-AF TCP. In the schemes with Only-TCP flow and with TCP and UDP flow fighting for the link, the experiment results were made and analyzed by using the standard TCP and the RTT-AF TCP. The experimental results show higher throughput and lower loss rate of packets by using RTT-AF TCP for data transmission, and achieve excellent effect.

Improving Mobility Management for All-IP Radio Heterogeneous Network Using SCTP

Mobility management is a very important function of mobile communication in all-IP radio heterogeneous network. In order to achieve an efficient mobility management, with low delay and low beacon overhead, a micro-mobile stream control transmission protocol (mmSCTP) scheme was proposed. This scheme reasonably utilizes SCTP features and elaborately designs execution-steps for vertical handoff. Moreover, it provides fast locating for idle mobile node when a session is initiated by the correspondent node. The analytical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme is effective in supporting fast vertical handoff and effective location management.

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.
