TCP over Wireless Networks
Annika Wennström, Stefan Alfredsson, Anna Brunström · Digitala vetenskapliga arkivet (Diva) (Karlstad University) · 2004
This report provides an overview of common wireless network technologies used today, with emphasis on data transmission. Wireless networks are becoming increasingly used for Internet communications. As discussed in the report, the TCP protocol may experience performance degradations over wireless networks, due to non-congestion related packet loss and varying round trip times. To this end, many enhancements for TCP to the link and transport layer have been proposed. A selection of these are presented and discussed in relation to the wireless network technologies.
