A Novel Algorithm for TCP Timeout Calculation Over Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

To accommodate real-time multimedia applications that achieve Quality of Service (QOS) requirements in a wireless ad-hoc network, a QOS control mechanisms is needed.Correspondence over such networks must consider other aspects in regard to network properties; that the time it takes to send a message and reach its destination faces different variables from one message to the other in a short time.Therefore, the equation of calculating the time required to resend the message must be able to contain the worst case and acknowledges different features for the network.The objective of this paper is to improve retransmission time calculation adaptability when occurring using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) over wireless Ad hoc networks.Hence, it aims to obtain more accurate time to ensure retransmission time occurring in accordance to the network environment variables efficiently.
