Abstract

The transmission control protocol (TCP) was designed to provide reliable end to end delivery of data over unreliable networks. Ignoring the properties of wireless adhoc networks can lead to poor TCP implementation. Therefore several transport layer protocol have been designed exclusively for adhoc network such as ATCP, ATP, TPA etc. Out of these protocols ATP finds to be more suitable for adhoc network. In ATP, the performance of sending TCP is concentrated but the performance and load of the intermediate node is not taken in to account while designing it. In this paper a simple approach is proposed to address the intermediate node problem by making it to operate in three layers rather than operating in four layers. This enhanced ATP is called as PATPAN.
