Transport connections set up over wireless links are frequently plagued by problems such
as-high bit error rate (BER), frequent disconnections of the mobile user, and low 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 …

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 …

Transport connections set up in wireless ad hoc networks are plagued by problems such as
high bit error rates, frequent route changes, and partitions. If we run the transmission control …

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 …

With the advent of small portable computers and the technological advances in wireless
communications, mobile wireless computing is likely to become very popular in the near …

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 …

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 …

In this study we investigate the interaction between TCP and MAC layer in a wireless multi-
hop network. This type of network has traditionally found applications in the military …

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 …
