The TCP protocol is used by most Internet applications today, including the recent mobile
wireless terminals that use TCP for their World-Wide Web, E-mail and other traffic. The …

When TCP operates in wireless networks, its congestion control algorithms such as fast
retransmit recovery (FRR) and retransmission timeouts (RTO) are often triggered even when …

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most popular transport layer protocol used in the
current internet. However, the end-to-end throughput of TCP degrades significantly with …

This paper has several contributions. First, we report that long sudden delays during data
transfers are not uncommon in the GPRS wireless WAN. Long sudden delays can lead to …

In wireless ndworks, the implicit assumption which TCP makes that losses indicate network
congestion is no longer valid. Losses in wireless networks can result from bit crmrs. fading …

The focus of this work is on performance enhancement of short-lived TCP flows over a wide-
area network with the last hop being a 3G wireless link. We take the 3GPP Non Real Time …

Spurious TCP retransmission timeouts (RTOs) have been reported to be a problem on
network paths involving links that are prone to sudden delays due to various reasons …

TCP's performance significantly degrades in multi-hop wireless networks because TCP's
retransmission timeouts (RTOs) are frequently triggered regardless of congestion due to …

TCP does not perform well in networks with high packet error rates, such as those with
wireless links, since TCP assumes network congestion to be the major cause for packet …

In multihop wireless networks, reliable data transfer is one of the most difficult tasks. When
transmission control protocol (TCP) operates in multihop wireless networks, the performance …
