Abstract

In this paper, in order to analyze the dynamic property of data traffics in LTE (Long Term Evolution) mobile communication network, we build a dynamic model for LTE network in the packet level and implement the model based on NS-2 simulator. Using the implemented dynamic model for LTE network, we simulate TCP Reno with packet loss congestion measure and FAST TCP with queuing delay congestion measure in various LTE network environments and analyze the stability and performance of each TCP. The simulation results show that FAST TCP is superior to TCP Reno in performance over twice and illustrate that queuing delays contain more effective information on the network congestion than packet losses in the LTE network.
