“…e packet loss rate and transmission delay were obtained according to the statistical RTO and RTT. In UDP-XGB, we input 17 Figure 4 shows the RTO from standard TCP compared with the real RTT. It is clear that RTO can wave in response to fluctuations in the real RTT, but the RTO wave is always behind the RTT wave, so that data will retransmit when RTT has extreme waves.…”

Massive machine-type communications (mMTCs) for Internet of things are being developed thanks to the fifth-generation (5G) wireless systems. Narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT) is an important communication technology for machine-type communications. It supports many different protocols for communication. The reliability and performance of application layer communication protocols are greatly affected by the retransmission time-out (RTO) algorithm. In order to improve the reliability and performance of machine-type communications, this study proposes a novel RTO algorithm UDP-XGB based on the user datagram protocol (UDP) and NB-IoT. It combines traditional algorithms with machine learning. The simulation results show that real round-trip time (RTT) is close to the RTO, which is obtained by this algorithm, and the reliability and performance of machine-type communications have improved.

“…Consequently, increased traffic volumes and the large deployment of wireless networks are detrimentally affecting the transport protocol basis and its performance [5][6][7][8], as is the case of the worldwide used Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) [9,10] and some of its variants [11][12][13]. These limitations also affect Adaptative and Aggressive Transport Protocol (AATP) [14].…”

Wireless Loss Detection over Fairly Shared Heterogeneous Long Fat Networks

et al. 2021

The quality of inter-network communication is often detrimentally affected by the large deployment of heterogeneous networks, including Long Fat Networks, as a result of wireless media introduction. Legacy transport protocols assume an independent wired connection to the network. When a loss occurs, the protocol considers it as a congestion loss, decreasing its throughput in order to reduce the network congestion without evaluating a possible channel failure. Distinct wireless transport protocols and their reference metrics are analyzed in order to design a mechanism that improves the Aggressive and Adaptative Transport Protocol (AATP) performance over Heterogeneous Long Fat Networks (HLFNs). In this paper, we present the Enhanced-AATP, which introduces the designed Loss Threshold Decision maker mechanism for the detection of different types of losses in the AATP operation. The degree to which the protocol can maintain throughput levels during channel losses or decrease production while congestion losses occur depends on the evolution of the smooth Jitter Ratio metric value. Moreover, the defined Weighted Fairness index enables the modification of protocol behavior and hence the prioritized fair use of the node’s resources. Different experiments are simulated over a network simulator to demonstrate the operation and performance improvement of the Enhanced-AATP. To conclude, the Enhanced-AATP performance is compared with other modern protocols.
