In this paper, we examine an emerging combination of challenges for TCP: increasingly
bursty background traffic that is not subject to flow and congestion control, higher bandwidth …

With the progressive deployment of 5G networks around the world, mobile networks are
entering a new era where bandwidth will be breaking through the Gbps barrier. In this work …

As third-generation (3G) wireless networks with high data rate get widely deployed,
optimizing the transmission control protocol (TCP) performance over these networks would …

Motivated by the amount of short-lived TCP traffic due to interactive applications like Web
browsing, we propose two schemes to reduce the download time of TCP flows. Both …

ABSTRACT TCP is the most widely used protocol for Internet traffic, including email, web
browsing, data and an increasing portion of multimedia content delivered in real time using …

Upload and download traffic often coexist in mobile networks. However, TCP download
throughput could be substantially degraded by upload traffic even if the downlink is not the …

We propose a path recovery notification (TCP–PRN) mechanism to prevent performance
degradation during a handoff. Even though Freeze-TCP achieves a performance increase …

Improving the end-to-end performance of TCP over wireless networks has been an active
research area. When TCP operates in wireless networks, the performance of TCP degrades …

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 …

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 …
