Queue management plays an important role in the performance of IP based networks and cellular networks in particular where large buffers are often deployed in order to absorb bursts resulting from the dynamic nature of the radio channel. Long standing queues building up in large buffers leads to "Bufferbloat", degrading the performance especially for delay-sensitive applications while small buffers may lower the link utilization. This paper proposes a novel AQM algorithm tailored to cellular networks, mainly by utilizing the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) periodically reported by user equipment, in order to mitigate Bufferbloat and maintain acceptable levels of performance. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the average queuing delay of packets for each user by 40% on average with TCP traffic compared with the CoDel algorithm which has recently become popular.

“…The estimated RTT is the average of RTT value from all the samples of RTT and if the estimated RTT is larger than the minimum RTT, the Receiver Window (rwnd) will be reduced. Work [17] controls rwnd by monitoring queue states. The queue state is estimated using the difference between the minimum RTT value and the real RTT value.…”

“…us, there is overflow of RLC queues due to the large volume of traffic in a short period of time leading to high delay resulting in poor performance. To guarantee high throughput and low delay during congestion, the researchers have proposed various methods such as buffer-aware scheduling [5][6][7][8], active queue management (AQM) techniques [9][10][11][12], receiver window control [13][14][15], loss-based congestion control [16][17][18], delay-based congestion control [16,19,20], rate-based congestion control [4,20,21], admission and congestion control [22][23][24][25], and resource starvation [26][27][28].…”

“…During congestion in the network, the enormous amount of packets start accumulating in the large queue space at eNodeB and wait for the resources to be allotted [29,30]. is leads to increase in packet delivery time which adversely affects the delay sensitive applications known as bufferbloat problem [13]. Another problem in the loss-based TCP congestion control method is that it detects the network congestion only after the packet gets lost [17,31], that is, when congestion window (cwnd) size is large and user queue at eNodeB overflows.…”

The cellular network keeps the vast capacity of queue space at eNodeBs (base stations) to reduce the queue overflow during the burst in data traffic. However, this adversely affects the delay sensitive applications and user quality of experience. Recently, few researchers have focused on reducing the packet delay, but it has a negative impact on the utilization of network resource by the users. Further, it fails to maintain fairness among the users, when competing for a shared resource in coexistence with conventional TCP or UDP users. Therefore, in this paper, the adaptive receiver-window adjustment (ARWA) algorithm is proposed to efficiently utilize the network resources and ensure fairness among the users in resource competitive environment, which requires slight modification of TCP at both the sender and receiver. The proposed mechanism dynamically varies the receiver window size based on the data rate and delay information of the packets, to enhance the performance of the system. Based on extensive experiments, the results illustrate that the ARWA algorithm reduces the delay of TCP packet and increases fairness among the users. In addition to that, it enhances the packet delivery fraction (PDF) and maintains the throughput of the system. Moreover, it competes with other conventional TCP users for the shared network resources in a fair manner.

“…It has been reported in [7]- [10] that TCP often suffers from large delays in wireless networks due to excessively large buffer installation at access points (APs) to compensate for capacity fluctuation of wireless channels. In MPTCP, longdelay paths can aggravate the delay performance since packets arriving at the receiver through short-delay paths may need to wait for out-of-order packets arriving through long-delay paths.…”

Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP) has attracted much attention as a promising technology to improve throughput performance of wireless devices that support multi-homed heterogeneous networks. Although MPTCP provides significant increase in network capacity, it may suffer from poor delay performance since the delay tends to be aligned with the worst-performing path: packets delivered through a short-delay subflow have to wait in the reordering buffer for packets being transmitted over a long-delay subflow. In this paper, we investigate the applicationlevel delay performance of streaming traffic over MPTCP, and develop an analytical framework to take into account nonnegligible network queuing delay and the interplay of congestion control between multiple subflows. We design a simple thresholdbased subflow traffic allocation scheme that aims to minimize user-level delay and develop a receiver-centric traffic splitting control (R-TSC) that can be tuned to user preferences. The clientside R-TSC solution facilitates incremental deployment of lowdelay streaming service over MPTCP. Through simulation and testbed experiments using commercial LTE and WiFi networks, we demonstrate significant performance gains over the standard MPTCP protocol.
