- Cellular networks are continuously evolving to allow improved throughput and low latency performance for applications. However, it has been shown that, due to buffer over-provisioning, TCP’s standard loss-based congestion control algorithms (CCAs) can cause long delays in cellular networks. The QUIC transport protocol and the Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR) congestion control are both proposed in response to shortcomings observed in TCP and loss-based CCAs. Despite its notable advantages, BBR can experience suboptimal delay performance in cellular networks due to one of its underlying design choices: the maximum bandwidth filter at the sender. In this work, we leverage QUIC’s extensibility to enhance BBR. Instead of using the ACK rate observed at the sender side, we apply a more fitting delivery rate calculated at the receiver. Our 5G-trace-based emulation experiments in CloudLab suggest that our modified QUIC could significantly improve latency without any notable effect on the throughput: In particular, in some of our experiments, we observe up to 39% reduction of the round-trip time (RTT) with a worst case throughput reduction of 2.7%.
