Abstract :
The TCP acknowledgement problem in the multi-hop wireless network is analyzed in the paper, and a TCP acknowledgement mechanism by the combination of the sender and the receiver is proposed. The mechanism stipulates that the receiver decides whether to respond acknowledgement according to the group frequency received, also conduct the fast acknowledgement according to the demand of the sender. Compared with other similar algorithm´s performance, the algorithm is able to further reduce the number of ACK and improve the performance of TCP in the multi-hop wireless network.
