Simulation Based Performance Analysis of Snoop and obTCP for Vehicle to Vehicle Communication

Abstract: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has recently standardized Network Mobility Basic Support Protocol to address the issue of mobility management for networks in motion (mobile networks). This development allows providing seamless Internet access to all the devices in the mobile network. A lot of research has been done to enhance the TCP performance in mobile networks and networks with wireless links, where packet losses are due to reasons other than congestion such as high Bit Error Rate. We considered Snoop and obTCP as they give promising results in mobile networks.
In this paper we consider Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication scenario where a host in an On-Board IP Network communicates directly with a host in another On-Board IP Network. We analyze the performance of TCP Snoop and obTCP in Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication under varying wireless link characteristics. We found that Snoop and obTCP performs almost same in this scenario due to complex timer cooperation among sender timer and agent’s timer. document gives formatting instructions for authors preparing papers for publication in the Proceedings of an International Journal.
