Cognitive radio aware transport protocol for mobile ad hoc networks

Cognitive radio mobile ad hoc networks (CogMANETs) allow secondary users to switch channels when a primary user appears, but this changes communication characteristics like bandwidth and round-trip time. TCP CRAHN was proposed to help TCP adaptively update its congestion window in response. This paper evaluates TCP CRAHN when bandwidth and round-trip time drastically change, and then proposes TCP CoBA to further improve throughput. TCP CoBA additionally considers available buffer space at relay nodes when updating the congestion window after a channel switch. Simulations show TCP CoBA can improve throughput by up to 200% compared to TCP CRAHN.

Cognitive radio aware transport protocol for mobile ad hoc networks
- 1. CognitiveRadio-Aware TransportProtocolfor Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Abstract: With the proliferation of new wireless service, scarce wireless resources is expected to become a critical issue. For this reason, cognitive radio mobile ad hoc networks (CogMANET) are being developed as a promising solution to this problem. However, in CogMANET, channel switching is inherently necessary whenever a primary user with a license appears on the channel. Allowing secondary users to choose an available channel from among a wide spectrum range thus enables reliable communication in this context, but communication characteristics such as bottleneck bandwidth and RTT will change with channel switch. In response to this change, TCP has to adaptively update its congestion window (cwnd) to make an efficient use of the available resources. For this purpose, TCP CRAHN was proposed for CogMANET. In this paper, TCP CRAHN is first evaluated in cases where bottleneck bandwidth and RTT drastically change. Based on these results, TCP CoBA is proposed to further improve the throughput of the above use cases. TCP CoBA updates the cwnd based upon the available buffer space in the relay node upon channel switch, as well as other
