Abstract

Flow control, end-to-end (EED) delay, throughput, and energy consumptions are important factors of real-time and multimedia communication in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET’s). It has a characteristic of the dynamic flow of data communication among the various users without using wired technologies. Due to this dynamic structure of MANNETS, most of its energy is consumed in route searching and packet retransmission. In addition, a problem of energy consumption may also occur due to network congestion and traffic flow control. In general, UDP is used for real-time communication but this protocol is unable to control the traffic flow properly. Therefore, a new protocol is developed for this purpose called datagram congestion control protocol (DCCP) used in those networks, which has an increasing number of multimedia traffic, and real-time flow. In this research work, major performance metrics with the issue of power usage of the TFRC and TCP like DCCP protocols are evaluated.
