“…Haile et al [39] proposes a modification of the BBR congestion control algorithm for QUIC and evaluates it over different scenarios, including 4G and 5G connectivity, based on mmWave. Besides, Haile et al introduce in [40] a mechanism to enhance BBR delay performance in QUIC by utilizing a 5G emulation testbed. Krämer et al [41] propose a multi-domain PEP with supports both TCP and QUIC connections, whose behavior is analyzed with connections over mmWave channels.…”

The extensive availability of spectrum resources and the remarkably high data transmission rate of millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology have propelled its significance as a vital component in the advancement of mobile communications, including fifth generation (5G) networks. However, the intermittent nature of mmWave links and their interaction with transport layer protocols pose several challenges, which bring inadequate performance, due to fluctuations in high-frequency channels. Consequently, although these features of mmWave might be advantageous, they can actually hinder the performance. Although these issues have been studied in the literature with TCP, there are few works that have studied how QUIC behaves over this kind of channels. This paper aims to compare the performance of TCP and QUIC over mmWave channels, studying the impact at the application level. We conduct extensive performance evaluations, based on traces that are obtained by means of a detailed simulation of different mmWave scenarios, using the ns-3 simulator. We analyze key performance indicators, such as delay, throughput, and bottleneck buffer. The results evince that QUIC outperforms TCP in highly fluctuating mmWave channels, showing better performance for both throughput and delay.

“…In this sense, the combination of Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR) congestion control algorithm and QUIC is proposed to address the shortcomings observed when TCP was used with loss-based congestion control algorithms (CCAs). In [2], implementing a receiverdriven BBR in cellular networks may face challenges such as compatibility with existing network infrastructure, fairness to other flows, and scalability by applying a more appropriate delivery rate calculated at the receiver. Wang et al assess the performance of QUIC, with BBR, in satellite environments, using dedicated network emulation testbeds [3].…”

We analyze the performance of QUIC over Non-Terrestrial-Networks (NTN). The presence of this transport protocol has strongly increased since it was originally proposed, but its behavior over wireless networks is still an open question. We focus on NTN, which will play a key role in forthcoming cellular systems, and whose underlying connectivity exhibits a highly variable behavior. We show that using multiple streams, which is one of the most relevant advantages of QUIC, yields performance improvements. We then propose a delay-based scheduler, based on dynamic queuing control, and we compare its behavior with that exhibited by legacy solutions. We carry out an extensive experiment campaign exploiting a novel methodology that combines virtualization techniques, real QUIC implementation, and ns-3 to model NTN links. The results show that the proposed scheduling policies fairly distribute the delay between streams, without jeopardizing the throughput, even under very high load situations.

“…Haile et al [24] used the scalability of QUIC to enhance BBR; instead of using the ACK rate observed at the sender, it applied a more desirable transfer rate calculated at the receiver. Simulation experiments based on 5G tracking in CloudLab proved that the modified QUIC can significantly reduce latency without any significant impact on throughput.…”

Congestion control is a fundamental technology to balance the traffic load and the network. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Quick UDP Internet Connection (QUIC) protocol has flexible congestion control and at the same time possesses the advantages of high efficiency, low latency, and easy deployment at the application layer. Bottleneck bandwidth and round-trip propagation time (BBR) is an optional congestion control algorithm adopted by QUIC. BBR can significantly increase throughput and reduce latency, in particular over long-haul paths. However, BBR results in high packet loss in low bandwidth and low fairness in multi-stream scenarios. In this article, we propose the enhanced BBR congestion control (eBCC) algorithm, which improves the BBR algorithm in two aspects: (1) 10.87% higher throughput and 74.58% lower packet loss rate in the low-bandwidth scenario and (2) 8.39% higher fairness in the multi-stream scenario. This improvement makes eBCC very suitable for IoT communications to provide better QoS services.
