Behavior of TCP algorithms on ad-hoc networks based on Different Routing Protocols(MANETs) and propagation models

In recent years, a variety of new routing protocols have been developed in order to increase the performance of ad hoc, mobile networks. Each protocol more or less based on different strategy. TCP which basically designed for wireline networks faces difficulties in ad hoc wireless networks. In this paper we analyze the performance of well-known protocols under most known TCP versions with two widely used signal propagation models. Our investigation based on a lot of simulations and analyzes. The results show the effect of propagation model and routing protocol on performance of some TCP versions.
