… , thereby shielding the original TCP sender from the wireless … TCP over the wireless link
results in several performance problems. Since TCP is not well tuned for the lossy link, the TCP …

… approach results in good throughput if the wireless connection uses some special mechanisms,
the performance does not exceed that of a well-tuned, TCP-aware link-layer protocol (LL-…

… For this reason TCP requires improvements or modifications. … improve TCP performance on
wired-cum-wireless medium. … control mechanism on the wireless link and the fixed network, …

… the performance of TCP in networks with wireless links. In our … fixed wired network, plays a
pivotal role by buffering the TCP … mechanism, where the base station is involved in the TCP …

… link, and, consequently, it eliminates the unnecessary overhead placed on mobile devices,
such as the TCP congestion control mechanisms. In addition, we investigate the impact of …

… We propose an explicit feedback mechanism that eliminates timeouts at the … of TCP by
upto 100% over basic TCP in wide-area wireless networks, and upto 50% in local-area wireless …

… schemes assume that packet loss occurs only in the forward channel; the TCP self-clocking
mechanism based on ACK feedbacks could therefore be affected and even dominated by …

… A special case of this melhod terminates the TCP connection at the wireless interface, … of
wireless TCP mechanisms lhat have been recently proposed. We find that some TCP sender …

… TCP over our network without changing existing TCP implementations. We do not modify
network-layer software anywhere in the fixed network … a timeout mechanism based on a TCP-…

… when using TCP over wireless links. We present the characteristics of various wireless
systems and then explain how these characteristics adversely interact with TCP mechanisms. We …
