Towards reliable communication over WLAN
Ahmad Ali Iqbal, Waqar Mahmood · 2007
This paper presents the comparative results of legacy TCP protocol with TCP detection and recovery (TCP-DR) over infrastructure based wireless networks. The newly proposed architecture of TCP-DR minimizes the losses due to channel errors and short disconnections. It enhances the TCP Reno functionality by modifying modules at the base station, which mitigates the bandwidth under utilization problem over infrastructure-based wireless network communication. The simulation results illustrate that performance can be improved up to 43% in the presence of high channel errors and short disconnections.
