Abstract

We use a simulation method to analyze the performance of TCP Reno, NewReno, SACK and Vegas in wireless ad hoc networks. We propose an alternative adapted SACK option format (ASACK) and a new technique, round trip time (RTT) notification (RN), to improve the performance of TCP Reno and Vegas in wireless ad hoc networks respectively. An associativity-based routing (ABR) protocol is also implemented to study how the route stability affects the performance of TCP
