Design Goals of Transport Layer Protocol

The document outlines design goals for a transport layer protocol for ad hoc wireless networks. It states the protocol should maximize throughput per connection while providing fairness, minimize overhead, implement congestion/flow control, support reliable/unreliable connections, adapt to network dynamics, efficiently use bandwidth and resources, utilize cross-layer information, and maintain end-to-end semantics. It also discusses classification of transport layer solutions and issues with using TCP in ad hoc wireless networks.

DESIGN GOALS OF A TRANSPORT LAYER PROTOCOL FOR AD HOC WIRELESS

NETWORKS
 The protocol should maximize the throughput per connection.
 It should provide throughput fairness across contending flows.
 It should incur minimum connection set up and connection maintenance overheads.
 It should have mechanisms for congestion control and flow control in the network.
 It should be able to provide both reliable and unreliable connections as per the requirements of the
application layer.
 It should be able to adapt to the dynamics of the network such as rapid changes in topology.
 Bandwidth must be used efficiently.
 It should be aware of resource constraints such as battery power and buffer sizes and make efficient
use of them.
 It should make use of information from the lower layers for improving network thruput.
 It should have a well-defined cross-layer interaction framework.
 It should maintain End-to-End Semantics.

CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSPORT LAYER SOLUTIONS

TCP OVER AD HOC WIRELESS NETWORKS:


 TCP is reliable, end-to-end, connection-oriented TL protocol that provides a byte stream based service.
 Major responsibilities of TCP include
 Congestion control.
 Flow control.
 In-order delivery of packets.
 Reliable transportation of packets.

Discuss briefly the reasons why TCP does not perform well in Adhoc wireless network
The major reasons behind throughput degradation that TCP faces when used in ad hoc wireless net works are
the following.
1. Misinterpretation of packet loss:
 In traditional TCP design, the packet loss is mainly attributed to network congestion.
 Ad hoc wireless network experience a much higher packets loss due to
 High bit rate
 Increased Collections etc
