In the wireless network, if the TCP cannot identify the wireless error, it overly reduces the
transmission rate by unnecessarily cutting the congestion window down. Therefore, to …

Today there is a growing demand for Internet services over WLAN hotspots. Majority of the
Internet services today are based on TCP. However, TCP is not well-suited for …

Traditional TCP performance degrades over lossy links, as the TCP sender assumes that
packet loss is caused by congestion in the network path and thus reduces the sending rate …

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 …

Due to the fast advances in wireless networking technology, there is an increasing number
of hosts using TCP/IP to connect to the Internet via wireless links. However, it is known that …

TCP performs poorly in wireless mobile networks due to large bit error rates. Basically, the
TCP sender responds to these losses as if they were due to congestion in the network, and …

Reliable transport protocols such as TCP are tuned to perform well in traditional networks
where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless …

Wireless access networks in the form of wireless local area networks, home networks, and
cellular networks are becoming an integral part of the Internet. Unlike wired networks …

Wireless data services are fundamental in ubiquitous networks. In wireless data networks,
the TCP congestion mechanism can mistake a wireless channel error or blackout for …

Many analytical and simulation-based studies of TCP performance in wireless environments
assume an error-free and congestion-free reverse channel that has the same capacity as the …
