Abstract
There is an increasing interest to design a full IP Access Network that can provide IP connectivity to mobile users. UDP and TCP transport layer protocols are designed to deliver data across wired networks. Mobility of users in such a wireless system results in transport layer protocols facing a very different packet loss and delay pattern. The use of an efficient mobility management protocol is essential to the performance of the protocols and the relevant applications running on top. In this paper the performance of UDP and TCP transport layers is evaluated on a wireless IP access network running the BCMP localised mobility management protocol, through simulations using the ns-2 simulation platform. Data and multimedia applications are employed to test their performance. UDP and various TCP variants are tested and the objective is to evaluate their performance in such a system and to examine the effect of the mobility of users.
