Abstract :
This paper develops an optimal congestion control algorithm for wireless networks using TCP based on utility maximization techniques. The algorithm requires no modifications to TCP. The algorithm, termed CBW, adaptively responds to changes in network routing and topology. Several simulations are presented and indicate a substantial gain in throughput and a reduction in aggregate transmitter power. A simplified heuristic is also presented.
