Previous TCP performance investigations for wireless systems focus on TCP throughput
degradation due to packet loss on the error-prone wireless link. Since cellular mobile …

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 …

In recent years, extensive research is in progress to enhance TCP performance for wireless
networks. The assumptions made by TCP for wireline networks do not hold for wireless links …

It is well known that the performance of TCP deteriorates in a mobile wireless environment.
This is due to the fact that although the majority of packet losses are results of transmission …

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 …

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 …

With emerging Technology handheld devices and laptops have become very common. Most
of these devices interconnect using wireless links. Some of the applications running on …

The Internet provides a platform for rapid and timely information exchange among a
disparate array of clients and servers. TCP and IP are separately designed and closely tied …

TCP performs poorly in wireless mobile networks due to large bit error rates. Basically, the
TCP sender responds to these losses as if they were due to congestion in the network, and …

As mobile devices are popular portals for internet users; they have some basic design
limitations of the TCP having congestion control mechanism. But in mobile wireless …
