Communication by wireless technologies has seen a tremendous growth in the last
decades. Mobile phone technology and wireless broadband solutions are rapidly replacing …

This thesis presents research on transport layer behavior in wireless networks. As the
Internet is expanding its reach to include mobile devices, it has become apparent that some …

TCP is a reliable end-to-end transport protocol tuned to perform well in traditional wired
networks where the packet losses are primarily due to congestion. However, networks with …

Wireless networks play a very important role in communications today. People want
information on demand–any place, any time. Wireless networks help solve this problem …

Extensive research has been performed on improving TCP performance in multi-hop
wireless networks, but there have been relatively few experimental evaluations of this work …

Transmission mechanisms that include an available bandwidth estimation algorithm and a
packet loss differentiation scheme, in general, exhibit higher TCP performance in wireless …

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 …

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the dominant transport protocol in the Internet and
supports many of the most popular Internet applications, such as the World Wide Web …

This paper studies TCP performance in a stationary multihop wireless network using IEEE
802.11 for channel access control. We first show that, given a specific network topology and …

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