Satellite communication has become important in the current global data communication
due to its large coverage area. Satellite links are affected by two major concerns: long …

Although TCP has proved very effective and robust for many years, its performance on
emerging heterogeneous networks is challenged by the impairments originated by the …

Satellite communications are essential to provide Internet access to wide areas, helping
bridge the" digital divide". However, long RTTs and the possible presence of losses due to …

The paper presents a study and an analysis of the performance offered by TCP over a GEO
(geostationary orbit) satellite link. The characteristics of satellite channels (notably the large …

Conventional TCP congestion control is based on the fundamental premise that packet loss
is an indicator for network congestion only. But actually there are many packet transmission …

In this paper, we propose a TCP congestion window (CWND) tuning scheme which
considers the resource allocation information of satellite link and the number of sessions …

Most standard implementations of congestion control method perform poorly in the satellite
Internet due to both a high bit error rate and a long propagation delay. This paper proposes …

Satellites have played an important role in global telecommunications. However,
transmission control protocol (TCP) suffers significant performance degradations over …

In the presence of satellite channels, one of the most challenging problems for TCP is to
achieve fair bandwidth sharing among several competing connections with round-trip …

Coventional TCP has several performance problems when deployed over long delay, high
link error rate satellite connections. Long delay causes the TCP to open up slowly resulting …
