LLECLAIR: A Cross Layer Design to Optimize the Performance of TCP in Wireless Networks
Jay Laxman Borade, Rajesh Bansode · 2014
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) provides reliable and efficient way of communication in wired networks. Increased use of wireless technologies and the available variety of wireless mobile devices in the market demands for efficient technology for communication. TCP throughput however degrades over wireless links; the performance achieved by TCP can be improved through the use of cross-layer algorithms. In this paper an architecture is presented called as LLECLAIR which can act as a standard for cross layer design ECLAIR module in LLECLAIR provides the optimized merging of two or more layers whereas the LLCLMAP module in the proposed architecture provides a solution for Congestion control in the wireless communication.
