Providing reliable stream transmission in the IP-based mobile computing environment presenr..s a significant obstacle to the development of a practical mobile Internet system [B3C94], [MS93], [193].In tllls paper, we propose a protocol for reliable stream transmission in the mobile computing environment.By caching packets passing through the base station, we can not only establish a reliable stream transmission connection belween the mobile host and its partner in the Internet, but can also guarantee the normal behavior of the TCP protocol in the Internet.Minimizing the compUlational overhead related to packet interception al the base station is also addressed in section "Implementation".Despite an increase in caching overhead at me base station.our malhematical model prodicts an overall improvement in communicaiton performance.
