Abstract

If the physical medium is error-prone, the congestion control mechanisms implemented by using transmission control protocol (TCP) might generate some unforeseen challenges. Packets lost due to the bit errors of wireless channel may provide the impression of a crowded network, forcing the sender to reduce transmission rates. As a result, throughput will be reduced. Several mechanisms are proposed in literature in the last two decades to address this problem of TCP. In the context of vehicular networks, maintaining the transport connection between the end users is considered as an additional challenge. In such scenarios, if the application can be designed for user datagram protocol (UDP) by incorporating the essential retransmission policies at application layer level, where a better throughput can be achieved. This paper includes a study of it for the use of railway signaling systems.
