Performance of TCP congestion control algorithms with interference in IEEE 802.11ac WLANs
(2016) 24th Signal Processing and Communication Application Conference, SIU 2016 p.473-476- Abstract
In order to meet the incremental requirements from clients, fifth generation Wireless Local Area Network(WLAN) protocol IEEE 802.11ac provides a lot more throughput than his predecessors. However, in all distributed channel access 802.11 protocols, probability of packet loss increases with respect to number of available stations; consecutive packet losses in link layer activates congestion control mechanism of TCP which decreases throughput. In this work, we investigated the performance of congestion control algorithms of TCP protocol when interference available wireless medium is used in between the IEEE 802.11ac capable devices. As a benchmark, we repeated the experiments with UDP protocol which does not have reliable connection and... (More)
In order to meet the incremental requirements from clients, fifth generation Wireless Local Area Network(WLAN) protocol IEEE 802.11ac provides a lot more throughput than his predecessors. However, in all distributed channel access 802.11 protocols, probability of packet loss increases with respect to number of available stations; consecutive packet losses in link layer activates congestion control mechanism of TCP which decreases throughput. In this work, we investigated the performance of congestion control algorithms of TCP protocol when interference available wireless medium is used in between the IEEE 802.11ac capable devices. As a benchmark, we repeated the experiments with UDP protocol which does not have reliable connection and congestion control mechanism. According to our experiments, we observed that UDP provides more throughput than all other TCP congestion control algorithms. When we compare TCP congestion control algorithms by themselves, we observed that the algorithms which does not decrease congestion window size too much during interference and have more aggressive increment of congestion window -such as Cubic and Illinois, Scalable have better performance in terms of throughput and standard deviation.
