Reliable tronsport protocols such as TCP use end-toendflow, congestion, and error control
mechanisms to provide reliable delivery over an internetwork. However, the end-to-end …

TCP is a reliable transport protocol tuned to perform well in traditional networks made up of
wired links with stationary hosts. Networks with wireless links and mobile hosts violate many …

Optimizing TCP (transport layer) for mobility has been researched extensively. We present a
brief summary of existing results which indicates that most schemes require intermediaries …

Unlike wired links, wireless network bandwidth is highly limited and the channel usually
suffers from frequent and bursty loss due to its vulnerability to various kinds of interference …

The transmission control protocol (TCP) used in the Internet has been mainly designed
assuming a relatively reliable wireline network. The TCP assumes that any loss is due to …

Today's universal communications increasing involve mobile and battery-powered devices
(eg hand-held, laptop, IP-phone) connected over wired and wireless networks. Energy …

We investigate the interaction between TCP and MAC layer in a wireless multi-hop network.
Using simulation, we provide new insight into two critical problems of TCP over wireless …

We propose a refinement of TCP Westwood which allows management of the
efficiency/friendliness-to-NewReno tradeoff. We show that the refined TCP Westwood is able …

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) assumes a relatively reliable underlying network
where most packet losses are due to congestion. In a wireless network, however, packet …

Several recent studies have indicated that TCP performance degrades significantly in
mobile ad hoc networks. This paper examines how badly TCP may perform in such networks …
