Abstract

The Snoop in the BS (Base Station) performs a local retransmission over wired-wireless networks to recover packet loss quickly. However, when the MH (Mobile Host) leaves the reception range of the signal, the local retransmission causes performance to degrade. In this paper, we minimize the packet loss and local retransmission caused by the unreachability from BS to MH to improve network performance. To do this, we suggest to add RSS(Received Signal Strengths) flag bit in ACK packet of MH. By using this flag bit, the BS decides whether it retransmits or not to minimize packet loss. The result of the simulation by ns-2 shows a big improvement of performance in the networks.
