“…The performance of the TCP protocol over the wired and wireless technologies has been widely studied in the literature [3,18,21,24,25,26,28,31]. To handle the problems of TCP over wireless network, a TCP variant is introduced, called Wireless Profiled TCP (WP-TCP) [32].…”

Most of the traffic in today's network uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as the transport layer protocol for reliable end-to-end packet delivery. However, TCP considers packet loss to be the result of network congestion which makes it unsuitable for mobile wireless communication, where sporadic and temporary packet losses are usual due to fading, shadowing, hand-off and other radio effects. During the vertical hand-off between different wireless technologies, the problem of end-to-end connection and reliability management for TCP becomes more severe. Intermediate Switching Network (ISN) is an effective framework for vertical handover between the UMTS and the WLAN network. This paper evaluates the performance of TCP over ISN based framework. The proposed scheme uses a cross layer interaction between the data link and the transport layers to estimate TCP retransmit timeout and congestion window during handover. Simulation results establishes effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

“…Moreover, AWM does not require any modification either in the TCP or in host implementations. In [1], the authors showed results obtained comparing AWM to AQM techniques, demonstrating that when the access node implementing AWM is the bottleneck in the network, TCP performance is very close to a pseudo-constant-bit-rate protocol, providing no loss and maximum utilization given that buffer queue never saturates and never empties.…”

“…However, some of them miss the challenging target of both avoiding losses and keeping goodput close to the network capacity (e.g., active queue management (AQM) techniques); others require changes in both network routers and hosts that make them difficult to deploy [e.g., eXplicit Control Protocol (XCP)]. In [1], [2], [3], [4], a novel mechanism, called Active Window Management (AWM), has been proposed with the aim of controlling the queue length in network routers, maintaining it almost constant to achieve no loss, while maximizing network utilization. In this paper we will demonstrate that the reduction of TCP losses and retransmissions, together with the reduction of the TCP connection life-time provided by AWM, besides improving network performance, allows to reduce energy consumption of end host.…”

In the last few years, the ever increasing attention to the eco-sustainability of Internet has pointed out the need of providing advanced power management schemes in network devices, in order to be able to reduce energy consumption according to the traffic load. In this context, starting from the observation that most of the traffic of today's Internet is carried by TCP, we focused on the impact that the dynamics of the TCP congestion control may have on energy efficiency of end hosts. In this paper we demonstrate that great energy consumption is related to network congestion conditions. Moreover, we propose to use a technique, called Active Window Management (AWM), with the aim of driving TCP sending rate according to the network available bandwidth, so improving congestion control and providing high TCP performance. AWM requires no changes to any TCP version. We demonstrate that the TCP traffic shaping performed by AWM allows a great reduction of the energy consumption in end hosts, with respect to the case where only TCP is used as congestion control.

“…In addition, AWM does not need to modify the TCP protocol and is compatible with any version of the TCP protocol. The same researchers published references [26,27] in 2010. Among them, the stability of AWM was analyzed and the influence of some system parameters on the performance of the whole system is evaluated in reference [26].…”

For the nonlinear TCP/AWM network congestion control system with external disturbances, under the framework of backstepping control method, an adaptive network congestion control strategy based on event-triggered mechanism is proposed. This strategy reduces the waste of network resources by introducing an event-triggered mechanism and uses RBF neural network to deal with external disturbances. The Lyapunov theory is used to prove that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded. Finally, the proposed method is verified by simulation and is compared with PID, which further verifies the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
