Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a widely accepted, reliable, end-to-end, transport layer communication protocol. It has a self generating error control mechanism to achieve reliability using error correction. It also a has flow control scheme to avoid network congestion using a window mechanism. TCP is tuned to perform well in traditional wired networks, where packet losses are primarily due to congestion. However, with the increase in wireless communication, there is an immense need of adapting TCP to the wireless environment. Packet loss in wireless networks could be due to bit error rate (BER), link failure or handoffs. If standard TCP is applied on such wireless networks without any modification, it may lead to performance degradation. To address these problems, many solutions have been proposed for TCP enhancements over wireless networks. We have analyzed the performance of New Reno …
