Achieving High Throughput in Low Multiplexed, High Bandwidth, High Delay Environments

This paper explores combining ECN bits and loss feedback to achieve a high throughput connection in a high bandwidth, low multiplexed environment. In the scheme, a TCP source reacts differently on receiving an ECN than it does on inferring a packet loss in terms of congestion window update. Coupled with...

Scalable IP-VPN Flow Control Mechanism Supporting Arbitrary Fairness Criteria

In recent years, IP-based Virtual Private Networks (IP-VPNs), which provide a virtual privately owned network over an IP network, have attracted attention. With existing IP-VPNs, however, there is a serious problem that fairness among IPVPN customers is not satisfied. This paper first discuss design objectives of a control mechanism for...

TCP-ROME: Performance and Fairness in Parallel Downloads for Web and Real Time Multimedia Streaming Applications

Parallel download protocols that establish multiple TCP connections to distributed replica servers have the potential to reduce file download time and to improve the quality of realtime multimedia downloads. Unfortunately, parallel download protocols are also inherently unfair towards single-flow downloads. This paper presents TCP-ROME, a parallel download protocol that allows...

End-to-end Fairness for TCP Traffic in 802.11e Wireless Mesh Networks Without Coordination

This paper considers end-to-end per-station1 and per-flow fair bandwidth allocations for TCP traffic in 802.11 based multi-radio multi-hop networks. First it shows that TCP ACK packets have to be prioritised using IEEE 802.11e since otherwise congestion losses of ACK packets cause unpredictable performance. Then it proves that prioritising ACK packets...

Balancing Throughput and Fairness for TCP Flows in Multihop Ad-Hoc Networks

Analyzing transport layer operation and enhancing its performance over multihop ad hoc networks have attracted a lot of attentions. Although the fundamental reasons for the performance degradation of TCP have been studied for many years, the tight coupling between transport layer and the wireless MAC layer is still not well...

Fair Bandwidth Sharing Between Unicast and Multicast Flows in Best-Effort Networks

This paper proposes a simple scheduler called SBQ (Service-Based Queuing) to share the bandwidth fairly between unicast and multicast flows according to a new definition of fairness referred as the inter-service fairness. The paper also describes a new active queue management mechanism called MFQ Multicast Fair Queuing to fairly share...

TCP Vegas-Like Algorithm for Layered Multicast Transmission

Layered multicast is probably the most elegant solution to tackle the heterogeneity problem in multicast delivery of real-time multimedia streams. However, the multiple join experiments carried out by different receivers in order to detect the available bandwidth make it hard to achieve fairness. This paper presents a simple protocol, inspired...

CTCP: Improving TCP-Friendliness Over Low-Buffered Network Links

Compound TCP CTCP is a sender-side improvement for TCP in high-speed and long distance networks. CTCP is a synergy of delay and loss-based congestion control, effectively combining them to achieve good efficiency, RTT fairness and TCP-friendliness. However, CTCP requires detecting incipient congestion effectively by estimating the backlogged packets and comparing...

Increasing Fairness and Efficiency Using the MadMac Protocol in Ad Hoc Networks

The IEEE 802.11 MAC layer is known for its unfairness behavior in ad hoc networks. Introducing fairness in the 802.11 MAC protocol may lead to a global throughput decrease. It is still a real challenge to design a fair MAC protocol for ad hoc networks that is distributed, topology independent,...

Adaptive Resource Allocation in Multiuser OFDM Systems With Proportional Fairness

Multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MU-OFDM) is a promising technique for achieving high downlink capacities in future cellular and wireless LAN systems. The sum capacity of MU-OFDM is maximized when each subchannel is assigned to the user with the best channel-to-noise ratio for that subchannel, with power subsequently distributed by...

Generalized Proportional Fair Scheduling in Third Generation Wireless Data Networks

In 3G data networks, network operators would like to balance system throughput while serving users in a fair manner. This is achieved using the notion of proportional fairness. However, so far, proportional fairness has been applied at each base station independently. Such an approach can result in non-Pareto optimal bandwidth...
