A Novel High-Performance Traffic Load Management Method: Error Rate Based Window Size Adjustment

Abstract

By introducing all IP networks together with IP TVs, smart homes, mobile phones, smartwatches, vehicle communication systems, etc. The demand for internet-based applications has increased which has also produced an increasing demand for bandwidth requirements in packet-switched networks. Thus, improving the system performance is now more important to gain more available bandwidth on the system. In the literature, many studies try to improve network performance for this reason using either hardware or software updates. But instead of having hardware-based modifications requiring more financial support, modifications of the methods used in network structures are much more preferred. In this study, a novel congestion control method called Error Rate Based Window Size Adjustment (ERBWSA) is proposed to be implemented on packet-switched networks which yields an improved system throughput performance by dynamic adjustment on the window size (cwnd) according to the probability of packet error rate.
