A fast adaptive congestion control scheme for improving TCP performance during soft vertical handoff

NC Wang, YY Wang, SC Chang - 2007 IEEE Wireless …, 2007 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
During vertical handoff, some undesirable phenomena may mistakenly trigger TCP
congestion control operations and thus degrade TCP performance. In this paper, we …

Adding network-layer intelligence to mobile receivers for solving spurious TCP timeout during vertical handoff

H Huang, J Cai - IEEE Network, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
With the help of mobile IP/IPv6 and soft handoff, ongoing TCP sessions can remain active
and handoff packet loss can be avoided. However, TCP still faces several performance …
