Abstract
In face of the continuous expansion of user scale under the rapid development of the Internet, communication devices in many remote areas and complex natural scenarios cannot use terrestrial networks for communication. Satellite networks have become the first choice for communication in complex environments. However, the characteristics of long delay, high bit error rate and intermittent link interruption of satellite networks leads to existing terrestrial transmission protocols such as TCP have always been poor performance in satellite networks environment. TCP protocol interprets the high frequency of packet loss in satellite networks as network congestion and implements certain congestion control measures to prevent further congestion. However, most of the packet loss in satellite networks is caused by transmission errors and congestion control measures will have no help at this time. Therefore, the transmission protocol needs to be improved and optimized for the satellite network environment to make full use of the link. This paper first introduces the different variants of the TCP protocol, and then introduces the current new network protocol QUIC, finally uses NS-3 network emulators to compare their performance and points out the improvement direction of satellite network transmission protocol.
