The increasing speed and coverage of wireless wide-area networks (WWAN) has made
technologies such as GPRS, UMTS, or HSDPA a popular way to access the Internet for both …

The conventional TCP tends to suffer from performance degradation due to packet
corruptions in the wireless lossy channels, since any corruption event is regarded as an …

TCP, which was developed on the basis of wired links, supposes that packet losses are
caused by network congestion. In a wireless network, however, packet losses due to data …

The use of loss differentiation schemes within the congestion control mechanism of TCP was
proposed recently as a way of improving TCP performance over heterogeneous networks …

On wireless links, the rate of corruption losses can be signi cant, leading to poor TCP
performance. The performance gets worse when these losses are mistaken for congestion …

TCP was designed to cope with packet loss due to congestion. Thus, it performs poorly in
lossy environments, such as heterogeneous networks including wireless links. Standard …

TCP traffic may have poor performance over unreliable wireless links if packet losses due to
transmission errors are misinterpreted as indications of network congestion. TCP …

Several TCPs have been proposed to cope with the change of networks. They have mainly
focused on modifying congestion control. However, even ideal congestion control for …

On wireless links, the rate of corruption losses can be signi cant, leading to poor TCP
performance. The performance gets worse when these losses are mistaken for congestion …

Current TCP is not able to distinguish corruption losses from packet loss events. Hence, high
transmission errors and varying inherent latency within a wireless network would cause …
