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 …

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 …

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 …

Wireless packet ad hoc networks are characterized by multi‐hop wireless connectivity and
limited bandwidth competed among neighboring nodes. In this paper, we investigate and …

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 …

TCP is a transport protocol that guarantees reliable ordered delivery of data packets over
wired networks. Although it is well tuned for wired networks, TCP performs poorly in mobile …

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 …

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 …

Previous research has focussed on the problems associated with TCP performance in the
presence of wireless links and ways to improve its performance. We present an extension to …

Reliable transport protocols like TCP are fine-tuned to perform well in wired networks with
stationary nodes. But, when used in wireless networks, these protocols give poor …
