Cellular phones, wireless laptops, personal portable devices that supports both voice and data access are all examples of communicating devices that uses wireless communication. Sine TCP/IP (and UDP) is the dominant technology in use in the…
IEEE 802.11 is a widely used wireless LAN standard for medium access control. TCP is a prominent transport protocol originally designed for wired networks. TCP treats packet loss as congestion and reduces the data rate. In wireless networks…
In this paper we suggest advanced IEEE 802.11ax TCP-aware scheduling strategies for optimizing the AP operation under transmission of unidirectional TCP traffic. Our scheduling strategies optimize the performance using the capability for…
IEEE 802.11ad specifies a hybrid medium access control (MAC) protocol consisting of contention as well as noncontention-based channel access mechanisms. Further, it also employs directional antennas to compensate for the high freespace path…
In this paper we suggest three scheduling strategies for the IEEE 802.11ax transmis- sion of DL unidirectional TCP data from the Access Point to stations. Two strategies are based on the Single User operation mode and one is based on the…
When the stations in an IEEE 802.11 infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS) employ Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in the transport layer, this exacerbates per-flow unfair access which is a direct result of uplink/downlink bandwidth…
