TCP-friendly streaming in next generation wireless networks

TFRC the TCP-Friendliness and Inter-protocol Fairness Study

“…TCP-friendly has a lot of protocol ,the fields contain unicast and multicast; according to the way of congestion control, divided them into: windowbased congestion control and congestion control based on the formula. TFRC (TCP-friendly Rate Control) [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] is a TCP-friendly protocol that develops better in the field of unicast and has become the standard RFC3448 [5] ; it is suitable for transmission of real-time multimedia services because the variation of throughput is relatively low; Simultaneously with the fairness of TCP is better, Recently it is a hot research. The fairness between TFRC and TCP had been inspected [6,7] , in this paper we will systematically study the consistency of TCP-friendliness (TFRC) and its inter-protocol fairness.…”

“…If we still simple to use UDP for transmission, TCP is bound to create hunger, and even lead to collapse of the network; The reason for this is UDP only has simple transmission function, and there is no congestion control mechanism. In order to solve this problem, people carried out the study about TCPfriendly [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . TCP-friendly has a lot of protocol ,the fields contain unicast and multicast; according to the way of congestion control, divided them into: windowbased congestion control and congestion control based on the formula.…”
