TCP, the dominant transport protocol for Internet applications, suffers severe performance degradation due to packet losses when a wireless link is present in the endto-end path. ...
— A considerable body of evidence indicates that the use of reliable link layer protocols over error prone wireless links dramatically improves the performance of Internet protoc...
Wireless wide-area networks (WWANs) are characterized by very low and variable bandwidths, very high and variable delays, significant non-congestion related losses, asymmetric upl...
Abstract: Reliable data transmission over wireless multi-hop networks, called ad hoc networks, has proven to be non-trivial. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), a widely used end-...
The IEEE 802.11x MAC protocol, the de facto standard for wireless LANs, includes a distributed coordination function (DCF) mode usable for ad hoc network architectures. The Transm...
