Reliable social connectivity and transmission of data for popular nodes are vital in multihop Ad-hoc Social Networks (ASNETs). However, congestion may occur and hence popular nodes might not achieve required bandwidth when multiple senders share data with a single receiver. The traditional Transport Control Protocol (TCP) might not be able to perform efficiently in ASNETs. Therefore, we propose a Reliable TCP for Popular Data in Socially-aware Ad-hoc Networks called RTPS. RTPS employs a popularity level approach for every single node which partitions the bandwidth among users. The reliability of popular data is ensured since bandwidth will firstly assigned to the popular sender. Preliminary results show that by delaying the acknowledgment and improving the performance of TCP, RTPS reduces collision loss in multihop ASNETs.
