The Design and Performance of Mobile TCP for Wireless Networks

Overview This paper proposes a novel approach to reduce the wireless communication overhead associated with the transport layer. Portability is a key element of mobile computing. As mobile devices shrink in terms of size and weight, their computing capabilities are also reduced, constrained by battery capacity. To sustain a good performance level of mobile applications, the authors devise a solution that reduces the processing complexity on computing-limited mobile devices. Additionally, the paper aims to minimize the use of wireless resources to further improve performance.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
