Retransmission Interference Between TCP and Wireless Data Link in Mobile Internet
Hyeonjun Jo · The Transactions of the Korea Information Processing Society · 1999
TCP protocol is originally designed for the wired network in which the packet loss in mostly caused the network congestion, and thus the performance of protocol can be decreased in mobile Internet environment due to the comparatively high error rate of wireless link. This paper analyzes the influence of retransmission interference that is a major factor to the TCP performance decrease. We first build a model in order to simulate the mobile Internet environment that includes the wireless network, and then we implement a program using PARSEC simulation language and finally executed the program. Based on the simulation results, we suggest a method that reduce the effect of the retransmission interference.
