How bad TCP suffers from packet losses and delays over  wireless ad hoc networkMay Zin Oo, Mazliza OthmanFaculty of Computer Science & Information Technology                          University of Malaya                                    Malaysia3rd to 5th April
OutlinesWhat does Ad hoc network mean?
Applying TCP (Transport Layer Protocol) to Ad hoc network
TCP Variants for Ad hoc network
Ad hoc routing protocols
Simulation Methodology
Experimental results from simulations
ConclusionAD HOC NETWORK Self organizing, self healing, distributed networks
The wireless devices can communicate each other without using central access points in peer-to-peer fashion , but these are within range of each other.
 Decentralized wireless network
The determination of which nodes forward data is  made dynamically based on the network  connectivity.Applying  TCP to Ad Hoc Environment TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
To provide flow control, congestion control & avoidance, in-order and reliable end-to-end delivery of data packet in the wired networks.
 Applying TCP to ad hoc environment,
TCP has to face many problems such as packet losses due to congestion and node mobility,  wireless high bit errors, and so on.
Because of these problems, the following TCP versions were intended for wireless environment:
Tahoe, Reno, NewReno, Vegas and WestwoodTCP Versions for Ad Hoc Network TCP Tahoe introduced slow start and congestion avoidance.
Slow start,
Use at the beginning of a transfer or after timeout
Start from minimum window size
