The wide scale deployment of Internet combined with several advancements in hardware and software technologies created opportunities for several Internet based applications such as Voice Over IP (VoIP) that involves the delivery of voice, video and data to the end user. SIP, the Session Initiation Protocol, is a signaling protocol for Internet conferencing, telephony, presence, events notification...
In recent years, Internet Protocol (IP) telephony is becoming popular because it offers more flexibility in the implementation of new features and services. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a peer-to-peer, multimedia signaling protocol standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) plays a vital role in providing services to IP telephony. SIP is ASCII-based, resembling HTTP, and reuses...
As wireless networks are deployed widely and user expectations grow, it is important to study the trade-offs among goodput, latency and loss rates that exist in link and transport protocols. Under low residual loss rates, retransmissions can be effective in bringing down the loss rate. However, at high loss rates, current links trade-off goodput and low latency for a small loss rate which diminishes...
Airborne links are playing an increasingly important role in defense and military scenarios. This makes it important to investigate the performance of existing transport protocols over such links. Airborne links experience high variation in quality due to mobility, weather and other effects such as blockage. This translates to high loss rate environments for which current protocols are not designed...
In this paper, we propose a novel transport protocol that effectively utilizes available bandwidth and diversity gains provided by heterogeneous, highly lossy paths. Our Multi-Path LOss-Tolerant (MPLOT) protocol can be used to provide significant gains in the goodput of wireless mesh networks, subject to bursty, correlated losses with average loss-rates as high as 50%, and random outage events. MPLOT...
Broadband technologies have made multi-hop wireless communications a reality. Loss-prone multi-hop networks pose challenges to link and transport layer protocols. Wireless links need to export low link-latencies, high goodputs and low residual loss rates to effectively enable interactive applications. Current link protocols with high ARQ persistence incur high latencies that impair such applications...
With increasing dependence on wireless networks as an integral part of the communication infrastructure, it is critical that data link and transport layer protocols perform reasonably under potentially severe lossy conditions. A key strategy is to use hybrid ARQ (HARQ) with erasure codes (a.k.a. forward error correction or FEC) sent both proactively and reactively in response to feedback about dynamic...
Wireless links pose significant challenges in terms of achievable goodput and residual loss-rate. Our recent enhancements, called LT-TCP make TCP loss-tolerant in heavy/bursty erasure environments. Link-level protocols mitigate these problems by using a combination of FEC and ARQ but are insufficient when the channel experiences disruptions. When the underlying source of loss is interference (e.g...
As the Joint forces move towards the vision of network-centric warfare (NCW), it is extremely important that the network services be reliable and dependable, even under degraded network conditions. Tactical wireless and satellite based networks are prone to disruptions over multiple time-scales: bursty bit errors and packet loss (small time-scale), interference, jamming and capture effects (medium...
