Abstract(in English) The growth of the Internet now allows exchange of large amounts of data through broadband networks. However, although TCP is still commonly used as a reliable data transmission protocol, packet losses significantly degrade TCP performance in a high latency environment, such as broadband networks. This is because TCP keeps the transmission rate low while lost packets are recovered.To prevent this problem, we need to use forward error correction (FEC) that enables a sender to transmit packets with redundant information to correct transmission errors at a receiver. However, FEC is restrictively used for TCP communication where transmission rates change a lot because it is typically used for UDP communication, which has a constant transmission rate. In this study, we propose a scheme to apply FEC technology to the entire TCP operation in order to improve TCP throughput. Specifically, we discuss the ways to determine redundancy level and return acknowledgments. Furthermore, we showed the effectiveness of the proposed scheme through simulation evaluations.
