In this study, IEEE802.11s mesh networking was formulated as it expected to be widely used because of its convenience. The properties of IEEE802.11s mesh networking were investigated and the results revealed its faulty communication performance in a multi-hop network. This could be explained based on Mathis’s theory for loss-based TCP congestion control algorithm that suggests that with an increase in delay, the loss probability decreases the communication performance. Recently, Google proposed TCP Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR), both of which may tolerate a high bit error rate. This algorithm does not follow Mathis’s model. In this study, we measure the performance of TCP CUBIC and TCP BBR on a mesh network, followed by an evaluation of the properties of this mesh network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
