Abstract-As new congestion control mechanisms are developed, their performance relative to existing mechanisms needs to be understood; in particular over wireless networks. This study aimed to evaluate existing TCP congestion control mechanisms using a comprehensive and reproducible methodology designed to be representative of real world usage of wireless networks. The study sought to investigate whether any existing mechanism could provide significant performance benefits over CUBIC and be recommended for adoption.The findings of this study showed that YeAH demonstrated an increase in throughput of 3%-5% over CUBIC, with no penalty to latency. While this small improvement may assist applications requiring the highest available performance, it is unlikely that it will provide a significant improvement over existing congestion control mechanisms. As such, it is the conclusion of this study that use of alternate congestion control mechanisms would not provide noticeable improvements in performance in most applications.

In this paper, we quantify reordering and connection interruption while downloading data to mobile phones in modern HSPA/HSPA+ mobile networks based on end-to-end measurements conducted in commercial operator networks. We show how these events are affected by phone model, operator, time of the day, user movement and signal strength. We find that phone model, time of day and user movement affect the number of connection interruptions, but not their length. Data loss during interruptions is influenced by operator and time of day. The number of reordering events is impacted by the operator and the time of day, the operator additionally affects the reordering extent. This improves the understanding of HSPA/HSPA+ networks and enables further research to improve the data transfer and methods for delay spike prevention.

High-speed networks are a key technology which has brought very innovative solutions to the world of computer networks while retaining mobility, scalability, reliability… It provides a very efficient service in terms of signal speed and optimality. However, such networks with such performance needs robust systems capable of adapting to the different changes that a network connection can experience, beyond this was born the need to design congestion control algorithms capable of preserving network performance while providing high speed with low latency and good signal quality. By the way, analyzing these algorithms is the main purpose of this paper.
