Method for adjusting a transmission rate to obtain the optimum transmission rate in a mobile ad hoc network environment

摘要

A method for adjusting a transmission rate in the transmission control protocol (TCP) under a mobile ad hoc network environment, including calculating a difference value (Diff) between the current transmission rate (cur_bw) and the previous transmission rate (base_bw), setting up upper and lower thresholds by calculating the standard variation (basebw_var) of the previous transmission rate, and updating the previous transmission rate to the current transmission rate depending upon a comparison result of Diff and the size of the upper and lower thresholds.
