Most current wireless wide area packet data networks (WWANs) are characterized by low
and variable bandwidths, high and variable delays, significant non-congestion related loss …

TCP performance over wireless links suffers substantially when packet error rates increase
beyond about 1%-5%. This paper proposes end-end mechanisms to improve TCP …

Multihop wireless networks based on the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol are promising for ad
hoc networks in small scale today. The 802.11 protocol minimizes the well-known hidden …

This paper presents TCP-DCR, a set of simple modifications to the TCP protocol to improve
its robustness to channel errors in wireless networks. TCP-DCR is based on the simple idea …

We present a TCP-compatible and-friendly protocol which abolishes thr ee major shortfalls
of TCP for reliable multimedia applications over heterogeneous networks:(i) ineffective …

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 …

We present the transport unaware link improvement protocol (TULIP), which dramatically
improves the performance of TCP over lossy wireless links, without competing with or …

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 …

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 …

Currently, a TCP sender considers all losses as congestion signals and reacts to them by
throttling its sending rate. With Internet becoming more heterogeneous with more and more …
