A Newly Proposed Approach and Comparative Analysis of Congestion Control Protocols in Wireless Network

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most widely used congestion protocol in the Internet. However, TCP has some limitations, even in the wired world, such as low bandwidth utilizations, high delay and introducing high load and overhead in the network. Due to these limitations, several congestion protocols have been proposed. Some of the most known and recent protocols developed are explicit Control Protocol (XCP) and Rate Control Protocol (RCP). These protocols have been proposed essentially to work in wired networks and environments; however, there are already new versions for wireless networks. In this paper a novel approach has been proposed and comparative analysis has been done with TCP and RCP.
