Abstract

Wireless communication is more prone to random loss than wired communication because of noise and mobility. Over years researchers have developed TCP variants that do not decrease the send window when random loss arises. Years ago it was introduced TCP CERL algorithm that proved to present a high performance compared to other protocols. Here, we test CERL assuming two-way transmission of relatively heavy load and compare with TCP BIC, TCP NewReno, TCP Westwood+, TCP NewJersey and TCP Illinois. Simulation Results show that TCP CERL gains a 145%, 137%, 120%, 97% and 125% throughput improvement over New Reno, Bic, Westwood+, New Jersey and Illinois, respectively.
