We discuss the design principles of TCP within the context of heterogeneous wired/wireless
networks and mobile networking. We identify three shortcomings in TCP's behavior:(i) the …

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to reduce the wireless communication overhead
associated with the transport layer. Portability is a key element of mobile computing. As …

We analyze the energy consumption performance of various versions of TCP, for bulk data
transfer in an environment where channel errors are correlated. We focus on a single …

The Internet provides a platform for rapid and timely information exchange among a
disparate array of clients and servers. TCP and IP are separately designed and closely tied …

Today's universal communications increasingly involve mobile and battery-powered devices
(eg hand-held, laptop) over wired and wireless networks. Energy efficiency as well as …

TCP is a reliable transport protocol tuned to perform well in traditional networks made up of
links with low bit-error rates. Networks with higher bit-error rates, such as those with wireless …

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 …

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most commonly used transport protocol on the
Internet. All indications assure that mobile computers and their wireless communication links …

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 …

During the last few years, both Internet and mobile systems have grown extremely fast. It is
natural that nowadays these two worlds are converging. Adaptation of protocols designed …
