Quic Based Mobile Oriented Future Internet (Q-MOFI)

Abstract

With the proliferation of mobile devices and various mobile services, ensuring smooth mobility for users has become a major challenge. The future internet is expected to be more mobile-friendly, with advancing technologies that will transform internet management in the coming decades. These technological advancements will help address mobility issues and provide a better internet experience for mobile devices and users. The Transport Layer, a critical component of the Internet Protocol suite, is responsible for providing end-to-end communication services to applications running on different hosts. The two commonly used transport layer protocols are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). However, TCP has the limitation of being slower than UDP due to the three-way handshake, while UDP has the limitation of being unreliable, having no congestion control, being connection-less, and having no security mechanism. To overcome these limitations, a new protocol called Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) has been designed by Google that offers several advantages over UDP. To leverage the advantages of QUIC, we have proposed a mobile-oriented future internet model called Q-MOFI that is based on the QUIC protocol to reduce latency,delay and improve data transmission reliability. Q-MOFI also features multiplexing to increase throughput. Our experimental results demonstrate that Q-MOFI outperforms the existing MOFI that uses UDP in terms of reducing binding operation delay, improving throughput, and minimizing packet loss, even with an increase in the number of hosts. The effectiveness of the Q-MOFI model has been validated through our experimental evaluation.
