Abstract

Improving TCP performance is a significant issue in the transport layer of the 802.11 base wlan. The throughput rate is investigated as the most important parameters of QoS. In this paper, a new method is investigated for decreasing throughput unfairness between TCP flows in the wlans. The buffer size of basestation and DCF mechanism in the MAC sublayer which are introduced as the reasons of the TCP downstream flow throughput degradation in wlan. Meanwhile, an analytical model will be developed for analyzing TCP flows behaviors. Finally, a new method is proposed based on changing the receive window of ACK packet that enhances TCP flows throughput. The numerical results, which is verified by NS.2 simulator, precisely demonstrates enhancement the throughput rate of TCP flows.
