The Muni Network Concept Gets “Legs”

The number of municipalities operating The number of municipalities operating, installing, or planning Wi-Fi networks is growing rapidly, driven by…

  • User acceptance/use of Wi-Fi
  • User acceptance/use of Wi-Fi
  • Large number of devices already

equipped (instant customer base)

  • Availability of low-cost networking
  • Availability of low-cost networking

systems (including mesh)

  • Ability to transport Ethernet-like

throughputs

  • Desire to project “Cybercity” image
  • “Digital Divide” amelioration
  • Improvement in public service
  • Improvement in public service

communications capabilities

  • Leverage existing municipal

infrastructure and fiber

Motivation for our w ork on LT-TCP

  • Dense wireless deployments in urban areas/ high

rises will cause disruptions/ burst errors due to interference

  • Protocols need to be loss tolerant and provide

l b l reliability – Especially as we move to multi-hop wireless i t environments

  • Divide the burden of reliability between link and

transport layers transport layers

  • Keep Residual Loss Rate low; Delay small; Link

and Transport Layer Goodput high and Transport Layer Goodput high

TCP-SACK Perform ance under Lossy Conditions

  • Sharp drop-off in performance with PER (degrades beyond an error

rate of 5% PER)

Page 12

  • Performance is poorer as combination of PER and RTT grows

Goals for our Enhancem ents to TCP

  • Dynam ic Range:

y a c a ge – Can we extend the dynamic range of TCP into high loss regimes? – Can TCP perform close to the theoretical capacity achievable under high loss rates?

  • Congestion Response:

– How should TCP respond to notifications due to congestion.. – … but not respond to packet erasures that do not signal congestion? congestion?

  • Mix of Reliability Mechanism s:

– What mechanisms should be used to extend the operating point of TCP into loss rates from 0% - 50 % packet loss rate? TCP into loss rates from 0% 50 % packet loss rate? – How can Forward Error Correction (FEC) help? – How should the FEC be split between sending it proactively (insuring the data in anticipation of loss) and reactively (sending FEC i t l )? FEC in response to a loss)?

  • Tim eout Avoidance:

– Timeouts: Useful as a fall-back mechanism but wasteful otherwise especially under high loss rates especially under high loss rates. – How can we add mechanisms to minimize timeouts?

  • Our Enhancem ents to TCP: Loss Tolerant-TCP ( LT-TCP)

LT-TCP Perform ance

  • Performance of LT-TCP is much better compared to that of TCP-SACK

Page 14

  • LT-TCP degrades gracefully (nearly linear degradation with loss rate)

SLIDE 15

Transport layer perform ance w ith loss tolerance across layers

  • Combining Loss Tolerance at the Transport layer with Link layer

enhancements allows us to strike a balance in providing the appropriate loss tolerance over a wide range of losses

  • Limiting ARQ at link layer to manage latency
  • Manageable link level residual loss rate
  • Reasonable Goodput even under extreme conditions

High Loss Rates: High Loss Rates: both LL both LL-

  • HARQ+LT

HARQ+LT-

  • TCP needed

TCP needed to get better performance to get better performance Low Loss Rates: Low Loss Rates: just LL just LL-

  • HARQ (link) helps
