Abstract Details

2003, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Computer Science.
Majority of applications on the Internet today use TCP for reliable communication. TCP has been designed for and fine tuned to wired environments, but recent studies have shown that its performance suffers in wireless network environments, particularly in ad hoc networks because of the presence of multiple wireless hops. Routing has been the most focused area of research in recent years in wireless ad hoc networking area. Many on-demand routing protocols have been proposed to improve robustness in the face of link and route failures and facilitate packet transmission. Using multiple paths to route packets is one of them. We examine the performance of the TCP protocol with multiple paths in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We set up multiple routes between the TCP source and destination either manually or using an on-demand multipath routing protocol, and forward packets on both paths to reduce the load on one single path. Ordinarily one would expect the multiple paths to reduce conflict between TCP data and acknowledgement packets thus giving better overall performance. Our results do incidate that TCP performance with multipath routing shows some improvement for long routes; however, shorter routes may experience slight degradation in performance as compared to single path routing. This observation remains true even when contention-based scheduling is used to schedule packets on different paths, or the multiple routes are chosen such that they have a minimum radio interference among themselves. We conclude that the TCP could gain only limited benefits with multipath routing.
