“…The completion corresponds to the instant at which the first data packet routed via the new connection is successfully acknowledged by the remote destination. The other metric of interest is the goodput, which refers to the data rate delivered to the MTs in the network [16].…”

Abstract.In this paper, we analyze the performance of vertical handover (VHO) algorithms for seamless mobility between WiFi and UMTS networks. We focus on a no-coupling scenario, characterized by the lack of any form of cooperation between the involved players (users and network operators). In this context, we first propose a low-complexity Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)-based algorithm, and then an improved hybrid RSSI/goodput version. We present experimental results based on the implementation of a real testbed with commercial WiFi (Guglielmo) and UMTS (Telecom Italia) deployed networks. Despite the relatively long handover times experienced in our testbed, the proposed RSSI-based VHO algorithm guarantees an effective goodput increase at the MTs. Moreover, this algorithm mitigates the ping-pong phenomenon.

“…Network layer solutions found in [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] have to deal with a common constraint: the requirement of a modified proxy server based on Mobile IP. Experimental results show that Mobile IP solely introduces a significant amount of delay in the communication, and thus minimizes performance [22][23][24].…”

BATCP: Bandwidth-Aggregation Transmission Control Protocol

et al. 2017

Abstract:The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most used transport protocol to exchange reliable data between network devices. A considerable number of extensions have been implemented into TCP to achieve better performance. In this paper, we will present, describe, implement, and analyze a new protocol extension called Bandwidth-Aggregation TCP (BATCP), which enables the concurrent use of network interfaces, to improve network performance on multi-homed nodes. BATCP allows the use of multiple TCP connections to accept multiple IP addresses from a multi-homed node, scheduling segments among them based on a scheduling algorithm. Our results show that BATCP achieves full exploitation of each network interface, achieving up to 100% network utilization using two ADSL connections in real-world scenarios. MultiPath TCP (MPTCP) is currently being standardized, and achieves up to 96% of network utilization when in ideal conditions. BATCP and MPTCP are the only protocols tested on real-world scenarios. Related work such as the Proxy Inverse Multiplexer, called PRISM, and bandwidth aggregation with Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) achieve 80% utilization or less with network simulators.
