A REVIEW ON TCP CONGESTION CONTROL ALGORITHMS AND RECEIVER SIDE FEEDBACK SCHEMES OVER MANETS

computer engg.

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic multi-hop wireless network that is established by a group of mobile stations without necessarily using pre-existing infrastructure or centralized administration. Traditionally, first-generation wireless networks were targeted primarily at voice and data communications occurring at low data rates. A mobile Ad hoc network is an autonomous system of mobile hosts which are free to move around randomly and organize themselves arbitrarily. Ad hoc networks need to possess self-organizing characteristics, and they must perform routing and packet-forwarding functions. This paper is focused on transmission control protocol (TCP) is one of the most popular and widely used end-to-end protocols for the Internet today. As TCP was designed for wire d networks it considers that all packet loss in the network is due to congestion. Wireless medium is more exposed to transmission errors and sudden topological changes
